Haptic feedback stops working randomly

Question

On my apple watch series 7 (watchOS 8.4.1) sometimes the haptic feedback stops working at all.

The only thing that fixes it, is restarting the watch. Toggling haptic feedback on/off doesn’t help.

Last time it happened was about 1 month ago (i think it was watchOS 8.3 back then) and it happened again today.

My alarm didn’t wake me today because of that. I also don’t get haptic feedback when receiving notifications, or scrolling with the crown.

This is a major inconvenience, since waking up to my alarm is crucial.

I didn’t reboot the watch this time, in case there is a way to gather information on how this happened.

Hi m4chei,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with your Apple Watch. As we understand, the haptic feedback works sporadically.

You'll then want to follow: Set up your Apple Watch and then test the issue again.

Let us know what happens.

Have a fantastic day!

Hi,

I tried those steps, and just now it happened again. No haptic feedback whatsoever.

I really don’t know whats the problem with this new watch.
