I use Dashboard by Chris Lewis (Android companion app required) for this very purpose. Works well, especially since my kitchen is usually a total mess.
It's a little fiddly, but you can use Dashboard for this without dragging your phone out of your pocket. Set Dashboard as one of your Quick Launch items. Then in its Android companion app, designate the Ringer toggle as the function it jumps to when you first load the program. When it loads up, you can select Ringer->silent and it will silence all notifications (except the ones explicitly designated as priority messages, I think). Three button presses to accomplish this (then two back presses to get back out to your watchface). Run it again to set it back to noisemaker (or vibrate) mode.
Thanks to [Chris](/u/MKUltra2011) for making such an awesome utility!
Dashboard still works for me on my Pebbles (PTS and P2 models, paired to an LG running Oreo), and I just tested a fresh installation on my wife's PTR (paired to a Pixel running Pie) -- it worked fine there too.
I install the Android app first, then install the front-end Pebble watchapp directly from within the Android app.
To expand on this how about something like Dashboard for Pebble.
You could get your phone battery, wifi, and 4g status and also toggle a variety of settings wifi, sound, DND, brightness.

If you're on Android, Dashboard can do this (with its companion app).
ETA: Whoops, you said Bluetooth on the Pebble, not phone, my bad.
Music Boss is invaluable too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.rebootsramblings.musicboss&hl=en_GB
I've had my PT for four months. Here are some apps which have stayed in my rotation:
Watchfaces I like, more or less in order of recent use:
For Android, yes, there are a couple of ways. First, some (not all) Android versions have built-in support for the HTML5 Battery Status API (now deprecated) which watchfaces and watchapps can query: examples of faces that use this feature include Impact, Ruler Weather, TrekVolle, and MultiFit. Second, Chris Lewis wrote the Dash API which also provides this feature on a more dependable basis, but you need both the API installed, and a face or app coded to use it (ex: Dual Gauge). The feature is also built in to his Dashboard app, which is a very handy utility in many ways.
(For iOS, I have no idea...)
In that particular case, the watchapp can & should be side-loaded from the Dashboard Android app, which is a lot less likely to go offline. Plus, Chris Lewis just announced that he's made the whole app open source.
All that said, I don't know if Dashboard itself works through the GadgetBridge app. ([Chris](/u/MKUltra2011), have you ever tested that?)
Dashboard with the Dashboard companion app has a find phone option. There is also Find My Android Phone with the Find My Pebble companion app can both do that.
Link to the Google Play Store for the lazy.
Thanks to /u/MKUltra2011 for its creation!
I have a feeling a bunch of stuff can or will be available through Gadgetbridge. Server-side stuff through http://setpebble.com/
I figure those 2 solutions won't die for a year or so and I will have destroyed this watch by then in a river, from my moose sweat... something.
The operating system may not be open source but the SDK has probably lets people essentially replicate any of the server-side functions in alternate ways.
As for installing apps, I've had an Android app push the watch app directly to my watch, circumventing the Pebble Store.
A development kit and junk like Tasker still means it's geek friendly- all while not phoning home to give a company data on you.
Oh, also, Chris Lewis' Dashboard -- indispensable!
Thanks for the reply! Explains why I didn't know since I'm iOS.

Dashboard is great for this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordpress.ninedof.dashboard
You can get 3rd party apps to do that. For example the Dashboard app by Chris Lewis.
But have you tried Dashboard ?
