Apple watch pulsing randomly

[wilderkun]

Hey, so my Apple watch had started pulsing, similar to the alarm pulse, but there's no alarm set, and no incoming notifications. The pulsing will continue until I turn it off, and then on again. This happens once a day for several months. I'm using the beta, and have gone through several betas with the issue. Anyone else noticing something like this?

I've noticed that. I think there are app notifications that are hidden or are buggy. I went through and cleaned up app notifications to the bare minimum and it has stopped. Not sure what app (if it was one) was causing it.

Could be a bug, I've noticed a few subtle pulse alerts (2 here 2 there) yet nothing displayed. Then when I check the iPhone there are notifications there that I've not sync'd with the Watch.

Consider checking the health app to see if there is anything there, but I would first check Watch App on your iPhone, see what alerts/apps are set to sync and show on the watch and which are not. Then the next time you get such an alert with nothing displayed immediately check the iPhone see what is there in your notifications list.

Could be email as well?

It's similar to when the alarm goes off, but not as strong. I think turning off assistive touch fixed it. But I'm not sure yet

Might it be the hourly chime setting?

Might it be the hourly chime setting?

No. Because it keeps going on until I restart it. I pretty much figured out that it was a problem with assistive touch. When I turned that off, it completely stopped
