Asus Zenwatch - Notification Settings Keep Changing On Their Own

I have an Asus Zenwatch (1st generation) running Android OS 5.1.1 and Android Wear 1.3.0.2160025 and I have it connected to my Google Nexus 6P. I assume this is the latest version available for the Zenwatch as when I try and update the software it advises me I am up to date.

One of the great things I love about Android Wear and the Zenwatch is the ability for me to pull down the notifications menu and change from no notifications, to priority notifications, to all notifications.

I normally keep notifications set at no most of the time and change it to priority when I'm out with friends etc. However, notifications do not stay on the setting I define.

Every day I set notifications to no and then I will hear it vibrating when I get a new whatsapp notification and when I check the watch notifications are set to all; despite the fact I never changed anything.

Has anyone else experienced this?

My first thought was that my clothes were touching the screen and pulling the menu down, however I have tried moving my wrist around in many different ways and my clothes never change the screen at all. Which leads me to believe it's software related.

I think the setting is tied into the quiet or priority mode settings on the phone. That is, if you set priority mode on the watch, it also sets it on the phone, and vice versa. Would that explain the behavior you're seeing? You set priority mode on the watch, and later un-set it on the phone (and thus on the watch, too)?

Thanks for the response CSX.

I changes the notification settings on the watch but nothing changed on the phone and vice versa.

I had been charging it there and it was set to no and when I checked it again it was set to all. So it is definitely a software or settings issue as its changing on its own afford when the phone is stationary.

Has anyone found a solution to this? It's very annoying and discouraging me from ever wearing it. I want notifications off the majority of the time, but whatever I do, they remain active.

Change default settings or watch setting to do not disturb.........
I have done that. That is the problem. I change it to do not disturb and a few minutes later it vibrates because of a new notification and it has changed back to all notifications. It does this all the time, even when the phone is idle on my computer desk.
