Previous series 6 & brand new series 9 do not vibrate with iMessages.
What else is there to do? Husband’s watch and several others around me experiencing same issue.
Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 10
This seems unlikely to be a hardware problem. Having the same issue on multiple devices tends to suggest software or settings. We have not seen mass reports of failed haptics, so a software bug is probably not the cause.
I suggest as first steps:
Press the Side Button (short press) to open Control Center, and check you have not accidentally enabled Silent, Theater Mode, or any of the other options which might block haptics.
Forced reset to clear any unwanted settings or confused software (unlikely but easy to try it). Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown (together, about 10 seconds) until the white Apple logo appears then release the buttons and let the watch reboot.
