If the watch does not play sound or vibrate when the Bluetooth disconnects, notifications are received, or an exercise is detected, verify the following:
Note: The available settings and menus options may vary by watch and software version.
Verify Do Not Disturb is turned off. If the feature is on, the watch will not vibrate and the screen will turn off when notifications are received, except for alarms.
From the watch screen, swipe down from the top edge of the screen, and then touch the Do not disturb icon.
Additionally, if the watch is running Tizen 4, access the Settings, and then touch Advanced to verify that Theater mode and GoodNight mode is turned off.
Verify the watch is set to alert you when the Bluetooth disconnects.
From the Settings, navigate to and touch Connections > Alerts.
Verify Sound and/or Vibration is turned on for calls and notifications. (Depending on the watch, sound options may be available.)
From the Settings, navigate to and touch Sound and vibration or Vibration.
Verify Health Nudges and the related exercise items, like steps, are turned on. This allows the watch to alert you when an exercise target is reached and for reminders to stay active.
From the Settings, touch Health nudges to turn on alerts for the desired exercise item(s). (Depending on the watch, Health nudges may appear in the Samsung Health app settings.)
For the Galaxy Watch, access Samsung Health > Settings > Workout detection > Activities to detect to manage exercise alerts.
