Hi Larry


Sound and haptic alerts depend on your settings. To check them:


On your iPhone, In the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Messages.

- For example, you might set this setting to Custom and then, under Alerts, enable each of Show Alerts, Sound and Haptic.


Also on your iPhone, In the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Sounds & Haptics - check that:

- The Alert Volume selector is where you want it to be;

- Silent Mode is not enabled;

- The Haptic Strength selector is in the central or right hand position.

- Prominent Haptic is enabled (to get pre-announcements of common alerts).
