How do I silence Messages from a single person on my Apple Watch?

Question

I have a particular person who continually messages me but I do not want to block them. Is there anyway to silence my watch so I do not get notifications from them, but I still get them from others?

Answer 1

It is possible to set a conversation in Messages to "Do Not Disturb". This will cause notifications to stop and will put a small moon icon next to the conversation. Works great!
