Charge 6 not vibrating when receiving a text

Somehow my watch has stayed connected to Bluetooth the past few days. I have an iPhone. It will vibrate when I get a call. It will show that I have a text and I can read it, but it doesn’t vibrate. I am so frustrated. How do I get it to vibrate for everything?

Thanks for explaining your situation in regards to the texts and calls notifications on your Charge 6.

Yes and nothing has changed. Literally now when this email came through, watch on and phone in hands and didn’t buzz.
I sync my phone when wake up and take my sleep mode off and it works then. And then I have to manually sync my phone throughout the day and for the next 1-2hours my watch notifies me and then it stops
My blade never had any issues and that is an old watch

I have nothing else connected to Bluetooth and my watch is continually dropped off of Bluetooth. It is very frustrating. It’s at least vibrating now when it is connected and a text is received. But I shouldn’t have to reconnect to Bluetooth several times a day. I never had to do that with my charge 4.

Same here. One of the reasons I updated is loss of good interactions with text and phone, and I assumed it was time to update to Charge 6. I did and it is worse. I get nothing at all sometimes and I cannot get it to vibrate except 10% of the time and some days, never. Then when I tried to get advice, I had to give my credit card for a $1 deposit? Huh? Should have bought an Apple Watch and likely will retire/get rid of my brand new Fit Bit if no solution.

I had the same issue and the solution was to restart my Fitbit.

Charge 6 —> scroll up to settings—>scroll down to restart—> hit restart 

then test after restart and it should work👍
