I have an aluminum space gray 44mm watch on 5.0.1. All of a sudden, I can't get the haptics to work at all. When I go to my phone and turn haptics on, prominent and all the way up - it vibrates, then the settings turn themselves back off - has anyone else seen this? I tried turning watch on and off and phone on and off - I guess I will have to try a full unpair and reset. I also cannot turn down the volume on silent mode - it keeps going back to full volume.
I have been having haptic challenges all along on the updates as in hit or miss whether it would vibrate or not - but this turning the settings off automatically by itself on the phone right after I reset them is new and seemingly quite odd and I don't know how to fix it.
 
Huh. First time I’ve heard of it. Yep, full reset is the first step.
 
Full reset did not resolve it. I think it is the operating system - not the watch since it is on the phone where it snaps back to off. It is also happening now on my series 3 one which I repaired to check.
