Apple watch series 8 haptic won't work

I have bought apple watch series 8 yesterday and I realized that it's haptic vibration does not work. Every settings seems to be right. I don't know what is the problem. I searched a lot on the web and test almost every possible OS solutions but none of them helped me. May be a hardware problem? Watch os version is 9.4
