Ever since the update to watchOS 8.6 the alarm haptic is messed up. It used to gently tap you on the wrist to wake you up. Now it just buzzes like crazy like when the timer or countdown runs out. Wrist detection is definitely on.

Ever since the update to watchOS 8.6 the alarm haptic is messed up. It used to gently tap you on the wrist to wake you up. Now it just buzzes like crazy like when the timer or countdown runs out. Wrist detection is definitely on and the watch recognizes that it’s being worn because it’s not asking for the pin code. Boy the phone and the watch are on sleeping mode also. When setting up the sleep schedule on the phone, it says on the button that if the watch is worn to bed that the alarm will go off on it. And it does, just not the way it used to. This is very jarring. I miss the other soft, taping haptic. Does anyone have a solution to this issue?
