Why pay for a Pro watch that you can't remove ridiculous features from ???

I have had a Samsung Watch 5 Pro for a few months now and use it for all my digital needs, however can someone please explain to me why after paying for the top watch in the range I am stuck with Ongoing Icon Notifications ???

This is nothing short of enraging when I find that earlier watches at a much lower price range have very simple fixes for this ridiculously intrusive popup.

!!! SAMSUNG SORT THIS OUT !!!

Hi I have the Pro 5, can you send a screen shot, if you press both buttons twice it will save in your gallery

This not only ruins the watch face that I have taken ages to design but gets in the way of a complication button on it.
I know all about developer settings and have been able to remove it in the past but not anymore, please enlighten me.

To finish off the massive annoyance it bounces up and down as well. Complete and Utter Garbage.

Its because the operating system is different on the newer watches. I do see your point on the old times watches you could move this to any point of the screen or disable it all together. Unfortunately it's just the ui which can not be changed. I suggest you return the watch if this irritates you.

It was relatively simple in the developer settings to remove it, until the last update. It would be a very simple addition to the wearable app in the future and needs to be addressed by the powers that be updating that app.

Hi thanks, I only get those if I am playing music on the phone, you can't turn it off, same applies for exercise routines

Try turning this off.

Oh also go to the watch recent apps, it now shows the persistent apps in the background, I blocked media player.
