My watch and phone will not buzz

Hi there,

My watch stopped "buzzing" when I receive text messages. Ironically, my phone stopped too. I unpaired the two and re-paired them. Still no luck. Any suggestions?

Apple Watch and Text Notifications Ding Inconsistently I have an apple watch series 3 paired with an iPhone X. When both phone and watch are NOT set to silent, about half the time I get texts, my watch will ding and half the time it won't. This makes me go long periods and not notice I've missed a text until I look at my phone. Watch is set to mirror phone. Do Not Disturb is not turned on. Anyone else have this issue?

Apple Watch 6 Message Haptic Not Working Just bought the series 6 watch today - what do I have to do in order to have the watch vibrate when a message is received? My phone is locked and the watch won’t buzz. It buzzes when I receive a call, so I’m not sure what settings I need to use.

Apple Watch not buzzing for Messages My Apple Watch Series 5 seems to buzz just fine for most notifications, but it stopped for Messages. It happened around the time my iPhone updated to 13.4.1, so I don't know if it's related. Any suggestions?

Suggest you reboot both devices.
