Apple watch haptics not working so well until reboot

I have an Apple Watch Series 6 and after a while some of the haptics stop working e.g. scrolling in notifications is a particular one, some notifications don't make it vibrate.


Pretty sure it's not a motor problem as it triggers for other things, and also a reboot fixes it. Think it started happening with about WatchOS 7.3 but not totally sure on that.

Hello imcdnzl,


We would like to see how we can help you with your Apple Watch. Please update to the latest version of watchOS and iOS and test to see if the issue returns.


Update your Apple Watch


If the issue remains, or if you have already updated your Apple Watch to watchOS 7.3.3, then unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone, pair them back together and test one more time.


Unpair and erase your Apple Watch


Cheers!
