I'd like 'Do Not Disturb', but for sounds only. I still want to be able to see my Watch face after 10pm

Hi all,
Should I be using ‘No Sound’ instead of Do Not Disturb on my Apple Watch? Or Theatre Mode?
I still want to be able to SEE my Watch face after 10 at night (instead of a black void), and I want to be able to see if there's a red dot, signifying notifications.
I just don’t want to hear any pings or sounds of any sort.
So... do I need to disable Do Not Disturb? Or can I have Do Not Disturb on, but for sounds only?
As I say, I still want to be able to see my Watch face.
Thanks for any advice,
malch

Wouldn't muting your watch do what you're asking? I can't tell you the last time my watch made a sound (unless you include the vibration noise a "sound," which I suppose it is).

Yes I could choose the bell symbol from Control Centre (if that's what it's called), but I'd prefer to use Do Not Disturb, if I could tell it to not bother me with any sounds, but to not blacken the watch face. The advantage of doing it this way, if I could, would be that Do Not Disturb allows you to set a schedule. If I hit the bell symbol in Control Centre, that mutes all sounds, but I have to then unmute the next morning, and then mute again the next night, unmute the next morning, etc. etc.
And yes, I also consider the vibration noise a sound, in fact, quite an annoying sound.
The thing is, I like the pings and whatnot during the course of the day. They do what they're supposed to do—alert me to new notifications. Just don't want the noises between 10pm and 7am.

@malch Ah, I understand. Sorry, I don't have a solution for you. I don't know if there is one on the watch itself. I wonder if Shortcuts can toggle the watch's mute button?
