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 as everyone else no Gmail notification or AOL mail notification on S21 ultra 

I hope Samsung can get this resolved before my return period is over or it is going back I can not do without my Gmail notifications. 09/15/21 i had to send my watch back because Samsung knows they have a problem but refuse to do anything about it I was really hoping they would fix it but I am finding out that they just don't care the consumer anymore.

Same here. Assumed I was the only one with the issue. Can't receive any sort if Gmail alert on the watch only see the yellow notification dot. But I get both audible and vibration notifications for every other app I have set to receive notifications from. Only Gmail issue. Galaxy 4 watch updated to latest software, and Note 20 Ultra updates to latest software. All setting seem correct. Only issue is with the Gmail app.

Received Gmail notifications just fine on the Galaxy Watch 3. This is odd.

Was having same issue with my new watch and note 20 ultra att....only work around I have found is to use outlook...added my Gmail to Outlook and now I getting my email alerts on watch. Hope Google and Samsung can update this sooner then later though as it seems alot of folks are having the issue and are not happy. My Galaxy watch had no issues with getting Gmail before...

I'll add to the stack.  Galaxy S10+ phone, Watch4 Classic...all notifications work, but Gmail will NOT vibrate the watch.  Frustrating to constantly miss new messages in gmail.  Happily I get buzzes for Google calendar events, but really miss the gmail message buzzes.

No replies from anyone official except for the general 'all notifications not working' message...

Same thing, gmail notification appears on Galaxy Watch 4 Classic but no vibration. Am using a Galaxy Note 9.

 

Previously had no issue with Gear S3 Frontier.

Same here. Watch4 vibration stopped working for certain notifications.
i.e. notifications vibrate for: whatsapp, phone, signal, alarm;
notifications stopped vibrating for gmail, eufysecurity, weather.

I do believe all notifications did vibrate prior to recent watch update.

My wife is experiencing the same issue on her watch4.

I have mine paired with Samsung A8(2018). Wife has hers paired with Samsung S9.

This does look like a software issue.
