My Zenwatch (v1) no longer vibrates when notifications pop up. I've tried restarting it but no luck. I'm running build LCA43.
The phone is an LG G4.

Any ideas??

Mine does this randomly and occasionally. There is no pattern, I can only assume that it is a hardware issue.

I've found a pattern - my gmail notifications don't vibrate, all others seem to. I had this problem before and switched to the stock email app which worked, then a gmail release fixed it. Looks like it's broken again. :(

I think I figured this out. My gmail notifications had quit vibrating, as well. The watch vibration for a notification is tied to the phone vibration setting for the same notification. If you go to the gmail app's settings, then tap on your gmail account name, you can set whether gmail notifications vibrate, and it affects both the phone and the watch.
