my apple watch doesn't vibrate when the ringer is on

so my issue is a bit weird

my watch only vibrates when the phone's on silent

but when i disable silent mode on my phone, the watch doesn't vibrate anymore.

the notifications still show up, just that there's no vibration.

is it meant to be that way?

Apple Watch Not Vibrating for Calls- all other vibrations work My watch will not vibrate for phone calls. The watch is on silent (as is my phone with no vibration as I can’t have it ring at work. It used to work perfectly fine, now all of a sudden I miss calls because my watch has stopped vibrating. All other notifications vibrate. I went so far as to reset my watch- that worked for a few days, now it’s doing the same thing again. Help!

iPhone not vibrating when connected to Apple Watch I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a Watch Series 8. when my phone is connected to my watch it doesn’t vibrate if it is on silent and all notifications seem to be diverted to my watch. This isn’t an issue if I’m wearing it but when I have it on charge in another room I have no idea that people are calling me. is there a setting I can change for this?

How to turn off vibrate on watch while sleeping Is there any possible way to disable the vibration of the Apple Watch at bedtime? At bedtime I turn the silent mode on with the bell icon on the watch and I also turn sleep mode on so I can monitor my sleep but if a call comes in, my watch still vibrates - waking me up. I also silence my phone with the button on the left side of the phone. I like the vibrate feature on the watch during the day but not while I'm sleeping. Thanks! Thanks!
