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

Well there was a software update for the watch yesterday and i was excited that it would fix this issue....but NOPE!.

This is getting ridiculous!! Why isn't this being addressed more urgently.

Any update on this @Stephanie Nikki ?

Really bad. 
I'm going back to my GW Active 2. 
It's one of the main features receiving a Gmail notification not a low priority bug.

I just recently upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 4 from the Galaxy Watch 3 and I am also having this issue with Gmail notifications not vibrating.  Gmail notifications are getting synced to the GW4.  But the Gmail notifications don't vibrate even though everything is configured correctly and I am getting vibrating notifications from other apps.  Please fix this annoying issue ASAP!

I agree there's a bug, exactly as described. It makes sense as there is no "companion app" for gmail in the "Store" that can be installed on the phone. I bit the bullet. Turned off "sync" and notifications for the gmail instance installed on my phone -- since Gmail cannot be deleted from an Android phone. I then installed and opened Outlook and allowed it to use my gmail credentials. Rebooted both the phone and the watch 4. Works as it should. I can live with it until a fix appears -- if ever.
