(Q) Notifications popping back onto screen after swipe down topic

Annoying feature to notifications so far is the forced choice of swiping left and dismissing from phone or swiping down to "keep" the card only to have it pop back up to the bottom of the screen 2 seconds later. Is there any way of avoiding the constant reappearance of cards I just swiped down? Example: I swipe weather down off my screen. A few seconds later is shows back up on the bottom of my screen and clutters my watch face. I just dismissed it, why would I want it right back?

I'm guessing this is just another area where Google is doing beta on us and will fix it down the road.

Netflix app "popping" topic

I don;t know where to put this, but it only happens on my m8. When I pause a video or close the Netflix app, there is a 'pop' that comes through the speakers. Is this normal?
