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

Do you mean setting the vibration on the mobile phone?

@userofthbjv3KH What type of device is your watch paired with, what Android version, is on your phone, and are you experiencing these symptoms with any other apps?

I have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra & the Watch 4 & I don't get a Vibration or Sound Alert on my Watch 4 when i receive a Gmail.

I don't think it matters what phone you have it's a bug in the Watch software.

I also have the same problem.  Galaxy Watch4 paired with a Galaxy S21 5G.  No vibration or sound when there's an incoming GMail notification.  The screen also doesn't turn on even though I have that option set.  Other notifications seem to work correctly.

Android 11 and Oneplus 8T. 
At the moment I'm facing this problem only with Gmail notifications.
I have other 3 smartwatches and Gmail notifications work correctly.
Any solution?

Bought my GW4 yesterday and have the same issue. All apps are vibrating on the phone but gmail's. Neither works with Sound mode. Not just the lack of vibration with gmail app, but not even opens the window to read the email if I recieve a new email. Only the small point on the left side shows, I have a new notification, but for gmail, that's all. Feels like the issue is with gmail app.
I have galaxy s10, with android 11.
