Apple Watch not vibrating for calls

My watch vibrates for everything but calls, I have confirmed sounds and haptics are turned on in my watch app (my watch>notifications>phone). Anyone know something I am missing? Thanks!

It is vibrating for everything else, messages, alerts, alarms...it even vibrates to let me know I’ve missed a call.


I also didn’t see an option to increase the haptics strength under “sounds and haptics” 🤔 just the on/off switch plus “default” or “prominent” options for haptics.

It works as intended on my Watch. If you are near an Apple Store, you should make an appointment with their Genius Bar. If you can't do that, this same link will let you chat with an Apple Specialist. The suggestions I gave you should have corrected your issue. It is an important feature and worth the extra effort to set it right. Anyway, here is the link......https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

It was already on prominent, but for testings sake I tested it on “default” and “prominent” again, no effect. Turned the sound all the way up (and un-muted my volume) and it rang, no vibrations, then proceeded to give me a little vibration to tell me I had missed a call...this is beginning to feel like a glitch...


I appreciate your help btw
