Haptics stopped working after watchOS5

Same here... not getting haptic feedback on roughly half or even more notifications... Email, twitter, sports & weather apps...

How the hell does this make it to final release?

Edit: thanks to the tip above, I was able to enable it for the mail app.

Now if i can only find a solution to why emails are not remaining in the notifications screen on the watch when no action has been taken on them....

That was not working me too initially, but after fiddling with the alerts in (iPhone -> Settings -> Notifications -> Mail -> Favourite Mailboxes -> Alerts) it starting working again. I think "Notification centre" did the trick, but all options were switched off initially (I now have Notification Centre and Banners switched on).

I was having issues with the emails not remaining in the notifications screen as well. I just applied the above, and they seem to be showing up now. Thanks for the info.

This also appears to have helped with mine. Thanks!

This is NOT a hardware issue. I was having issue with wireless charging after updating to iOS 12 that I thought was software related also and wiping the phone and setting up as new fixed both of my issues. The sound/vibration settings was set to the same way after setting up as new and I get haptics in the watch now.

Definitely software issue.

Sorry, definitely not hardware. Your replacement will do exactly the same thing.

Based on? I see you posted above the new mail tricked solved your issue
It doesn’t to mine.
Even force touching the screen didn’t trigger haptic feedback for me.

Did you get haptics when you force touch? The genius went to settings and even tried to choose ‘prominent haptics’. Nothing we did could trigger haptic to even trigger.

Hardware issue with multiple different Apple watches all just upgraded to OS5?

Is yours doing this?
I couldn’t get haptic to trigger in any event. Nothing in Siri, nothing in forcetouching, nothing even in settings in the prominent haptics section. Even when setting up as new.

Highly unlikely hardware is to blame if it was working prior to the update, and then it stopped working after the update. Maybe your entire watch got corrupted... seems very unlikely though. Here's to hoping a replacement gets you a fix.

I just don’t know what else to do. I reset to factory settings 3 times. Twice “as new”... genius tried troubleshooting and did diagnostics as well. If it’s a serious bug then it should’ve been more widespread.
 
I have had this issue, I was using the Infograph watch face, I changed it to another, tested with mail and it works again.

Went back to Infograph and its working.

Can you guys test please?
