Summary:

In the Watch app, under Sound and Haptics, there is a setting that allows covering the watch face to mute it. This allows, after getting a notification, for the user to hold their hand over the watch face for about 3 seconds and silence their watch. When this happens, it plays a vibration to confirm silencing. This is *working as intended and there are no issues here*, except that if the watch is already in silent mode, this results in seemingly random vibrations that don't change any settings.

Steps to Reproduce:
Have watch in silent mode
receive notification
cover watch for 3 seconds and feel vibration
no change has occurred as a result of this vibration

Expected Results:
I wouldn't expect a vibration if I'm already in silent mode

Actual Results:
It vibrates even though nothing has happened

Version/Build:
