How to enable stand notifications on Apple Watch even in Do Not Disturb mode?

When working or relaxing I like to keep my watch on Do Not Disturb, but I'd like to still get buzzed when it's time to stand. Is there a way to selectively enable a notification through DND?


Solution 1:

With Focus introduced in iOS 15, you can receive Stand Reminders by adding Fitness to the allowed apps in Focus settings. Apparently the notification settings of Activity app on the Apple Watch are mirrored from settings of Fitness app on the iPhone.

This is not a perfect solution as you can receive other Activity notifications such as Goal Completions and Activity Sharing Notifications if enabled. But at least it allows you to receive Stand Reminders while muting notifications from other apps.
