My Apple Watch, series 5, running 6.1.1 randomly “phantom” taps me when there is no notifications or alerts. It happens several times throughout the day. I see that people have had issues with this since as far back as 2015 but I couldn’t find a solution. Anyone have a solution?

I finally found the solution! I had Chimes activated in the settings. The watch tapped me every hour.
To turn it off go (on your watch / in the watch app) to Settings > Accessibility > Chimes.

Hi there,
Phantom vibrations are indeed a real thing, but with any wearable technology that has vibrating capabilities. There’s no solution or anything like that - it just is what it is.
you can read up more on them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_vibration_syndrome
