Hello. I can't get my Apple Watch to vibrate for new text messages. This was happening before I upgraded to Watch OS 3 and it continues today. All other notifications will vibrate the Watch.
 
Mirror my iPhone is selected.
In iPhone: Settings: Notifications: Messages you do have a sound setup?

What happens when you put your iPhone on vibrate or your :apple:Watch in Silent Mode?

After that about the only other option is to try a re-paring.
 
Mistake was mine. I had vibrate set to 'off' on my iPhone. With mirror my iPhone enabled that meant no vibrating on my Apple Watch. Set it to custom and enabled vibration.
