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,

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.
