Turn it off. Continuity doesn't work with wifi calling enabled. There was another thread on here earlier today, and some guy took it into the apple store.
Said it took em an hour to figure out to turn wifi calling off, and whamoblamo
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So one of the best features of my cell service needs to be turned off for it to work? Booooooo I see a software update
Same boat. Taptgate!
Watch no longer vibrates for anything. Reset multiple times. I've got an apple engineer calling me apparently today. I'm sure it's DOA. Sucks when's ya don't have an Apple Store near by

And that was the culprit. Thanks all. Sort of annoying as I'm always on WIFI calls.
If you have got the option, try to select TWICE instead of ONCE, it made the Messages notifications work for me.
Because my cell coverage isn't great in my house and at work, so it's nice to hope on the wifi for perfect phone calls and clarity.
I had problems with the haptic feedback not working too. Mine was not related to wifi calling though. It wasn't working. It was very weak out of the box yesterday. Then this morning it stopped working entirely. Nothing, even when you tried to set the strength via the settings on the phone or watch. Called in to apple support. They had me do the old turn it off and back on again trick. Holding down the side button on the phone and sliding power off. And it fixed it. I can't believe I didn't think to try that first.
I'm only adding this because there was nothing like this problem when I googled it yesterday and hopefully this might help someone else.

I was in the same boat as many... haptic feedback felt very hit and miss and when it did come through it was pretty weak (except for Digital Touch and force touch strangely). I reckon theres two things to bear in mind before jumping to the conclusion that your watch is faulty like so many are...
Firstly, the watch has to be worn pretty tight in my experience to feel the notifications. I had to tighten my sport up a notch to a point where it almost seemed too tight.. once I did that I could start feeling the taps a lot better. Ive got used to the snugger fit as well.
Secondly, I definitely think even with the strap worn tight the notification feedback is still weak and I reckon this is a compromise Apple has made to get that 'whole-day battery' (which incidentally is as it says on the tin in my experience). No idea how much of a power drain the taptic engine is but it could be what they've done...
