Apple Watch not vibrating

It may help to check your settings:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Sounds & Haptics:
- Check that the Alert Volume is towards the centre or right hand side;
- Check that Silent Mode is not enabled;
- Check that Haptic Strength is set to the middle or far right hand side of the slider.
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Phone:
- Perhaps choose Custom and check that all desired options are enabled, including Sound and Haptic under the Ringtone heading.
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Messages:
- Perhaps choose Custom and check - under Alerts - that Show Alerts, Sound and Haptic are each enabled.
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Mail:
- Perhaps choose Custom and check, under Alerts, that Show Alerts is enabled.
- Tap on your email account (eg iCloud) > check that Show Alerts from iCloud (for example) is enabled > check that Sound and Haptic are both enabled.
If these settings are already selected, it may help to temporarily alter them, change them back and then follow these steps:
Close the Watch app and then restart both your iPhone and your watch:
- To close the Watch app on your iPhone, double-click the Home button, then swipe up on the Watch app preview.
- Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first;
If the issue persists then, given the other steps that you have already tried, I suggest that you contact Apple Support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance, including to arrange for your watch to be inspected and serviced if recommended by Apple (whether under warranty or via chargeable, out-of-warranty service):
