Timer no longer vibrates

Since the last update my timer (where I can set it for 45 sec, etc) no longer vibrates letting me know the time is up. How can I fix this?

Hi Swtgracey,

It seems you're trying to make sure your Apple Watch is vibrating when you have a Timer complete and we can help.

Check out these steps to make sure you have Haptic Alerts enabled:

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Scroll down and tap Sounds & Haptics.

3. Turn Haptic Alerts on or off.

4. To add extra emphasis to haptic alerts, tap Prominent. This feature adds an additional haptic tap that pre-announces some of your other haptic alerts.

Change the audio and notification settings on your Apple Watch

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
