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

Same issue with S21 5G and Blue Mail. Notification is shown on watch but no vibration. Other notifications work fine.

Same issue - GMail notifications does not vibrate, but many others do include Samsung Health etc.

BTW, it appears after the recent OTA update.

Yup, exactly the same issue for me. Google Watch 4 Classic and a Note 20 Ultra - Everything works flawlessly except Gmail notifications. The notification adds to the list, but it doesn't vibrate or present itself when it comes in.

Just adding to the list, I have the same issue. Galaxy S21 with the Galaxy Watch4 Classic, every notification pops up and vibrates EXCEPT for Gmail. There are also a few Reddit posts of many others complaining of the same issue, so it's something with the software, not the watch itself. I hope Samsung patches this quickly, as e-mails can be kind of critical to know about sometimes.
