Apple Watch Activity Ring Notifications

Hi

Whilst I can't say why that is happening, the following steps may help:

If you have not yet done so, also update your iPhone to the latest software:

• Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Check that your personal information remains accurate:

• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Health > Edit - tap and adjust items, then tap on Done.
• If the setting for Wheelchair currently states "Not Set", then change it to "Yes" or "No" as appropriate.

Check your notification settings:

• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Activity > turn on Goal Completions along with any other desired settings.

Check that Wrist Detection is turned on and that, if passcode is enabled, you are unlocking your Apple Watch after placing it on your wrist:

• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Passcode > turn Wrist Detection on.
• Note that Wrist Detection can be affected by temporary or permanent skin changes, such as by some wrist tattoos.
  • Get the most accurate measurements using your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Check that you are wearing your Apple Watch sufficiently snugly on the top of your wrist (it may otherwise believe that it has been removed):

• Wearing your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Close certain apps and restart both your iPhone and your Apple Watch:

• Close the Watch app, Activity app and Health app (if open) on your iPhone:
  • Double-click the Home button, then swipe up on each app preview to close the apps.
• Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first:
  • Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
  • How to restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If the issue persists, then it may help to unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch:

• The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app.
• Initially choose to Restore from Backup during set up (most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions, such as Apple Pay cards, passcode).
• If the issue persists, consider instead unpairing and setting it up as a new watch.
• Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
• Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If the issue persists, then I suggest that you contact Apple Support for assistance:

• Contact - Official Apple Support
• Apple Support (@AppleSupport) | Twitter
• Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

All this was done... watch was even restored as new (fixed issue for 2 days then returned). Watch was returned to Apple for repair that did nothing. Apple admit it appears to be a software issue that popped-up with 4.2.

It is odd... I have a series 2 as well with all IOS and Watch OS latest versions... must be a bug. I agree that notifications have been buggy since these upgrades... ie (no breathe, activities gone missing etc etc)

I too have the same issue. I have a 42mm series 2 running OS 4.2. Had the notifications before OS 4.2. My wife has a 38mm series 2 running OS 4.2 too, however she DOES receive ring notifications.

I opened a case with AppleCare last night. I was told it's not an issue with OS 4.2. If I get a fix I'll respond back.

Issue returned today... not sure why... I’m hoping 4.2.2 will restore Activity notifications along with breathe reminders.... basically since 4.x for a health smart watch we lost a lot of key features.

oddly, it works for me a day or so then stops a few days then returns... can't wait for 4.2.2 and hope it fixes this as well as breathe reminders! 4.x has been a major bummer

UGH! Issue returned for no apparent reason with 4.2.2... I dont get why this is so flakey! Also, 4.2.2 did NOT fix the breathe reminders...

Been hit and miss for me... works 2-3 days then stops a day or two then back again... very feustrating.

This and breathe reminders I get like once a week versus the 10 times a day I have setup...

Very frustrating.

Yes, I have the same issue. It cropped up with 4.2. I have an active case open and suggest you do the same.

strange. On my series3 i get the "rings", my wife on series 2 doesn't. Both with latest iOS and watchOS ?

But i don't get notifications from my nuki smartlock anymore.

Really seems to be buggy.

oddly, it works for me a day or so then stops a few days then returns... can't wait for 4.2.2 and hope it fixes this as well as breathe reminders! 4.x has been a major bummer health feature wise!

Well, it was working flawlessly for the last few days/weeks and today the problem has returned...

Was working flawlessly these last few days/weeks but the problem has returned today...
