No sound or haptic for notifications or alarms

I am having this same problem. I get random alerts (e.g. haptic and visible alert) for mail and messages, but it does not happen more than it does. I tried turning the watch on and off but it didn't help. I am really frustrated about this. I've tried everything.

ME too. I don't get any haptic feedback on my iPhone apps that I enable notification to my watch. Mail does not go through consistently. Only seldomly. iMessages gets haptic alerts consistently. Annoying. Missing all my alerts and makes me check my watch looking for that red dot constantly.

Yes, same issue here. Seemed to work fine for a few hours after setting the Watch up but now very unreliable, particularly with email notifications.

Same thing happened to me.....was working fine when first setting up the phone, but realized today I was getting neither for any notification or alert. Checked all of the settings, made sure everything was up ,then tried the off/on trick. Now, everything is working as it should be....hoping it lasts this time.

Haha - true. 🙂

It actually took me awhile today to realize it wasn't vibrating, because I found myself lifting my arm so often to play with other features.....so, noticed the red dot for notifications anyway.

I tried resetting my phone, unpairing the watch and everything. I still sometimes get a hepatic with sound alert sometimes just hepatic, and most times nothing at all.. Pretty frustrating. Being a pretty busy person, I relied on my Pebble to vibrate to alert me of new notifications which it did perfectly. I know this a new product but you'd think they'd work out at least this big, which is the pirpose most people will by the watch. pretty irritating, and if this isn't addressed with an update within a week, this is going back

Same problem. I set imessage to custom and enabled haptic, so I get those. But, I get absolutely no other notifications including ones I have enabled through the watch app. Confirmed phone screen is off, so its not because I'm actively looking at my phone. Super annoying, and defeats the purpose of notifications if I have to actively look for the red dot. Currently, other than imessage (and even that seems spotty), I get absolutely no other notification feedback other than the red dot.

Yup. And when I access the mail app on the watch then I start getting all the notifications I didn't get before. I've tried it with the phone screen locked and unlocked. No difference.

Same here. E-mail definitely seems worse than iMessage but they're both completely unreliable. How on earth did Apple miss this one in testing!

So here's an idea that has worked for 1 email so far. email and texts display on my car nav screen but each time I connect via Bluetooth I have to go into mail notifications and change the number of items to display. If I don't do that they aren't displayed in my car but once I do they are. Have no idea why but it works so I do it.

I Just did that and the next email that came in worked on the watch. Try it and see if it makes a difference.

What haptic setting are you using? My wife was getting notifications but turned it all the way up and they didn't work. The middle setting is working again... Is this a glitch? We will continue to monitor and see if it changes again.

Interesting. Mine is turned all the way up, but since I changed the number of notifications to appear in the lock screen in the Mail Notifications settings on the iPhone I've been getting them. 3 emails so far....
