My wife wants a watch.

This is something that I would hope apple made bullet proof. But, with the wifi and Bluetooth bugs that consistently plague the iOS and hardware devices; perhaps the watch will be no different.

I am not buying her a watch that needs troubleshooting once a week; and resetting/re-pairing etc.

It should be set it and forget it.

it is for me:
1. phone completely quiet, no sound or vibe, with side switch set on mute
2. emails give me watch Haptic ( prominent set ON)
3. Texts give me Haptic - same
4. Phone calls - same
5. any other goofy alerts from an app is also haptic

Never been any different since the 1st day of fooling with it....

I'm too disorganized to do it but what we need to see is someone go thru the steps, and every slide switch on the two devices to get it this way....
 
It's a first generation product. This kind of thing is to be expected and sort of come with the territory of being an early adopter. Not trying to defend or justify it, just saying.

What kind of iPhone do you have?

I see this a lot, however, when you pay $500 to $700 for a product it's a poor excuse. You expect it to work as advertised, it was not advertised as beta, it was sold to us as a fully functional watch. It's not unfair to expect it to work the way they said it should.
