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

Same issue here with S21 Ultra & GW 4. The watch doesn't vibrate on Gmail and WeChat notifications, which are the most important two apps for me. Messeages, Clock and Phone work fine, so I believe it is a software issue. Please fix it.

Gmail update on 9/13, it's not fixed the issue.

Notifications for Gmail still do not work. My phone will vibrate appropriately but there is no vibration on the watch. The orange notification dot does appear on the watch but obviously you would have to check the watch to realize you even received the notification. Yes you can use an alternative email client such as outlook, but some people prefer to have two separate email clients. The fact that Gmail notifications do not work appropriately on this watch is mind-boggling especially since it's based on wear OS. This needs to be fixed as quickly as possible and people will be turned off by this and return it.

I just set up my new Watch 4 Classic and I also am having issues with not receiving vibration notifications for Gmail. Worked flawlessly on my previous Gear Sport Watch (Tizen OS), but not the Google Wear OS? That just doesn't make sense. This should be an easy fix by Google/Samsung! Please fix it soon.

Same issue here. Shame on Samsung for knowing about it since day one and do nothing to fix it. Thanks God I didnt get Fold 3 - who knows what did they screw up there.

I am having the same issue. It's only with Gmail. I can see the notification when I scroll but not getting the physical notification. I've done everything even talked to Customer Care and to no avail. Returned the watch for a new one and the same issue.

Sounds like this isn't the only failure of Google app integration on the Galaxy Watch 4: https://9to5google.com/2021/09/16/galaxy-watch-4-google-prompt/

What the heck is going on, Samsung??

Same here Galaxy Watch 4 40mm with Z Flip3 5G and no Gmail notifications at all. For others it vibrates sometimes but not consistently.
