I hate audio notifications. My iPhone is set up as follows...

Phone switched to silent > no ring or vibrate notifications
Phone switched to ring > ring tone on, messages etc set to vibrate.

Now my watch i have turned the volume down and haptic is on.

When my phone is on silent I don't notice any taps. That said I don't notice them when the phones on ring either.

Have I a settings imbalance?

interesting, I have "mirror phone" on, and have mine set up the same way....no sounds and no vibrate. I think the mirror phone option is just for notification settings, not actual sound/vibrate settings.

With mirror on and my phone switched to silent I was getting nothing from my watch
