Hello,
I just bought my new GW4 but it doesn't vibrate on notifications.
I tried everything :
1) No night mode
2) No Theater mode
3) Resetting the watch
4) Vibration mode is on
I receive all the notifications but it doesn't vibrate when receiving for example an email in my Gmail account.
Can you help me?
Thanks

I have the same issue. Gmail only, everything else works fine. I have the S21 and GW4 classic.

Same here.  Significant issue considering how prevalent Gmail is

Same issue too, with Galaxy S9 and Watch 4 with last update

Any update on this problem from a moderator? I think this is a big issue considering we are missing all the notifications from Gmail.

Thanks

I confirmed this Gmail notification issue on my Note 20 Ultra/Watch4 setup. Also experiencing the same on Samsung Calendar. No screen-on to snooze/dismiss appointment and no vibrate. Just the notification indicator. Other apps like Samsung Email, Clock, Timer work as expected.

So I just received an update to the Samsung Wearable app. Now my Samsung Calendar Notifications work properly. Screen on and vibration. I'm able to snooze/dismiss appointments. Hopefully fixed for good.

But Gmail notification is still broken.

Same issue with Pixel 3, no sound and vibration from any Google apps (mail, calendar, news, etc). I thought I was the only one. I have tried everything and even resetted the watch but problem still persists! This is for US watch 4 classic, btw.

Battery life is also considerably worse than my active 2, hopefully it will improve in the near future.
