Turn off ringer on Apple Watch for phones calls

I am trying to turn off the ringer for phone calls on the apple watch but I would still like it to "ding" for text messages. I know I can mute all sounds but like I said, I still want it to ding for text messages. Is there a way to just turn off the ringer for phone calls? In the watch app on my iphone I tired Notifications>Phone>Custom and turned the sound toggle off but it is still ringing. Any suggestions?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 4.2

Hi


To permanently disable sound alerts for incoming calls on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:


  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Phone.
  • Choose Custom and turn off Sound under each of Alerts and Ringtone.
