I've got the following sample code running on watchos 8 :

struct TestView: View {
  @State private var showingAlert = false
  
  var body: some View {
    NavigationView {
      NavigationLink {
        
        Button(action: {
          showingAlert = true
        }, label: {
          Text("Show dialog")
        })
        .alert("", isPresented: $showingAlert, actions: {
          Button("refresh") {
          }
        })
        
      } label: {
        Text("Show detail")
      }
    }
  }
}

It's a simple screen with a NavigationLinks that pushes into navigation a new view with a simple Button. On button press I'm displaying an alert with a simple button. When the alert is dismissed, the detail view is also dismissed and the interface returns back to it's original state.

It looks like this:

I am wondering what am I missing here. How can I dismiss the alert but remain on the second view that shows the "Show dialog" button.

View separations and not needed NavigationView (watchOS only!).

So here is fixed code. Tested with Xcode 13.4 / watchOS 8.5

struct TestView: View {
  var body: some View {
      NavigationLink {
        DestinationView()
      } label: {
        Text("Show detail")
      }
  }

  struct DestinationView: View {
    @State private var showingAlert = false
    var body: some View {
        Button(action: {
          showingAlert = true
        }, label: {
          Text("Show dialog")
        })
        .alert("", isPresented: $showingAlert, actions: {
          Button("refresh") {
          }
        })
    }
  }
}
