Good afternoon.

Updated last night to watch Os 6.2.6 & about every hr or so today my Apple Watch 5 vibrates on wrist. Of course I look , but nothing there at all. Just keeps on vibrating/haptic.

Have switched off/on & rebooted at least couple of times but still happening. Bloody annoying to say the least.

Anyone else noticed ?
 
it's not the hour "chime" is it?
in the clock settings, either the settings app on the watch, or in the watch app on the phone.

you may need to provide more detail than "Just keeps on vibrating"

is it a quick tap?
is it double, triple, long, long-short-long?
how often?
every 5-10 mintues?
a couple times an hour?
once every few hours?
non-stop for minutes on end?
 
Hi

Thanks for your reply. No it’s not the hourly chime/haptic. I have this set to on & works as should. This is a single random haptic at sporadic times. I then look at my wrist & there’s no email , notification etc at all.

Thanks

Yes, have the same phantom notification taps (AW 5), vibrations without any notification. 5 to 10 times a day. Have switched off the haptic feedback, too annoying.

Series 3 here and I do get the phantom notifications, but much less frequently (maybe 1-2 times every couple of days).
 
Anyone still having these issues? I still have them once every few days, on series 7 with latest watchos.
