Do Not Disturb During Workout? (WatchOS 5, iOS 12)

I can't find how to have the Watch/iPhone turn on on Do Not Disturb automatically during workouts. The switch that used to be in the Watch App's General->Do Not Disturb section is gone.

Any thoughts?

Do Not Disturb auto start with start of workout app Is there a way to turn on the do not disturb so that it starts automatically with start of workout like it used to do on my Watch 3? I had to upgrade my watch to Watch 4 and I have found that starting a workout on the activities app on the watch no longer automatically sets to do not disturb. I was interrupted by a phone call during my cardio the other day and I find it really hard to believe that we no longer have the option to 'Do Not Disturb' when exercise begins. I have looked at the app on my phone and have found no way to set the do not disturb on the activity app to sync with the start of the workout. Can anyone help??? Thanks for taking the time to read this!

apple watch Do they really not have a setting for regular do not disturb patterns on the watch (e.g., every night 10p-6a)? Like they do on iphone? Seems you should also be able to sync the do not disturb on both devices, kind of like the A/C in your car

Do Not Disturb during workout not working Has anyone noticed that the setting Workout Do Not Disturb (In Watch app- General- Do Not Disturb) isn't working? I'm using iOS 12.0.1 and Watch OS 5.0.1. Even though I have this turned ON, I still get notifications on my watch during my workouts. If I MANUALLY enable do not disturb, then the notifications are silent. Appears to be an iOS 12 or WatchOS 5 issue, because this worked fine in iOS11 / Watch OS 4.

Never mind - a hard reboot of the phone brought it back.
