How to manage AW notifications' sounds (alien.top)

Hey, I have what seems to be a simple question. I want to keep all my notifications on mute, except for timer, alarm and phonecalls. How can I achieve it? I tried to manage it via focus and turning off sound of notifications in iPhone settings, but it does not do the trick. Does any of you use watch in this way? How did you achieve it? I have iOS 10.

TLDR; I want to hear only sound from phone, timer and alarm notifications on AW. All others need to be completely mute, 24/7. Thanks!

Does just the haptic notification is not enough for you?

For many notifications, you can go into Watch app, Notifications, turn off "mirror iPhone" and turn off sound. Apps like Calendar and Mail give you more discrete options for different options, but they can also turn off sound.

However, some you cannot (Activity, for example.) So that will get you almost all the way there.
