I come from many years of Garmin watches. I picked up Galaxy Watch Ultra and the notifications are poor and unreliable. I almost always get the live notification as the screen pop up, but the orange notification dot (which is WAAAAY too small) only shows up about 5% of the time. Pretty much it never shows up. On Garmin watches you can get a display of a total of how many missed notifications you have as opposed to an unreliable too small dot. Also, if I swipe a notification away on my watch it disappears from my phone, never to be seen again. All of this is just a really poor implementation of notifications on the watch.
I bought this watch because it was supposed to have better smartphone features, but its miserably failing in that realm.
And before people ask - the watch and phone are updated and I've rebooted both. Notifications are turn on for all the apps
Huh? My point is that the notifications don't work reliably. I don't think it has anything to do with interacting with the watch. I just thought I'd check here and see if there was some solution I'm missing before I return it
To a degree perhaps, but I think I'd be ok with it if the notification dot at least showed up reliably. I suppose this is half a commentary on poor implementation of the notification system as well as the unreliability of it.
