Hello everyone  .
The Gmail notifications on the Galaxy watch 4 classic does not vibrate and the watch misses mist of the Gmail notifications to begin with.
Please write a comment if you have the same problem so someone at Samsung could hear about it and send an update . Gmail notifications are essential in everyday business to millions of people.

Have to link Gmail through outlook, this way when you receive an email to your Gmail, outlook will tell your watch you have a email. I created a outlook account just to make this work. It was the only fix I could make work 100% of the time.
Make an outlook account if you don't have one. Then go to outlook settings and add Gmail account. Go back to notification settings on the watch and toggle outlook notifications ON. Like I said, it's not ideal and bugs me to no end to have it setup this way, but if email notifications is important to you when they arrive, this is the way for the time being. I hope this helps .

I hope they send an update to fix the issue because I have already returned my watch because of this problem.

Dang, that  I read they are planning on fixing it, just don't know when. My issue is the HR 10 minute option stopped work when CUID firmware was installed on the watch. Continuous works fine, but I would rather use the 10 minute option. They want me to return it for repairs yet I'm not the only one having the problem. I will wait to see what the next update does before sending it in. It would take about a month to get it back since they use FedEx ground. Took 3 weeks for it to get to California from Texas...that's pathetic! I ordered the standard Breen one for my daughter, it shipped out the 4th, last place it showed was Texas, 4 days ago, was supposed to be here yesterday ( the 8th). Now the delivery date is blank. 😠 😡
