Watches are things that people like to put on their wrist and forget about. The Apple Watch is no different, except for the added functionality it offers. That’s great when it works, but if your watch isn’t vibrating when it’s supposed to, here’s how to fix it.

The Apple Watch is without a doubt the most popular smart watch on the market, and with the Apple Watch Series 4, Apple has upped the ante considerably. The problem is, as watches become ever smarter, they invariably start to suffer from the same kinds of software bugs that can befall any other computer. The Apple Watch has seen bugs of its own, and missing notifications because the watch isn’t vibrating is a pretty big one.

If you find yourself missing alarms, or even normal run-of-the-mill notifications from apps, that’s no good. Here are a couple of fixes that might help–hopefully, you’ve missed your last wake-up call.

Power Up Your Vibrations

The Apple Watch has always offered two different levels of vibration. There is the standard option, and a more vigorous Prominent Haptics one. We much prefer the more noticeable version, so we suggest trying that out first.

To start, open Settings on your Apple Watch and scroll down until you reach the bottom. Tap “Sounds & Haptics.”

Next, beneath Haptic Strength, turn on the “Prominent Haptic” toggle.
