Intermittent to notifications - steps per hour, hitting fitness zones, completing zone mins.

I have have had my Fitbit sense for about 2 weeks.  I really want to love it but the notifications are not reliable.  Settings are correct.  I have noticed the following and wondering whether others have the same experience and possible remedies.

1.  Steps per hour.  Sometime I get a vibration and sometimes not (assuming steps not hit).  Sometime I get the vibration but no text to read and sometimes not.  Sometimes the steps are clocking as I am moving to try and get the steps in and sometimes not.  Sometimes, I get a notification that the steps are completed and sometimes not...the key word here is sometimes.

2.  Sometimes I get a vibration that I have moved into a fitness zone and sometimes not. Most times not. The exercise was started through the exercise app on the watch.

3.  Most times I do not get a notification that I have completed all my zone minutes, but every now and again I do.

I have found the updates between the watch and the app and very laggy as well as losing Bluetooth with the phone frequently.  Not sure if this is all related to my issues.  Of course - restarting the watch, restarting the phone.  Very frustrating. I have a samsung s8.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Just some updates - 

1.  I would say most hours I am now at least getting buzzed to get the rest of my hourly steps in.  What is very annoying is that the watch seems to literally stop counting the steps - I am walking around to get the last number of steps in and the steps counter does not move so the hour does not get counted...not sure what to make of this.  Also, sometimes when the steps have been completed for the hour, the watch will buzz but there is no message to read.

2.  I have figured out how to get a consistent vibration moving through the zone levels.  I learned that each exercise has a setting if you simply scroll down when you choose that exercise.  There is literally a setting for the vibration and zone levels.  I hadn’t realized that and noting for others.  

3.  I have received the message about completing zone minutes...I think it was related to 2 and the setting to get vibrations during exercise.  Two days in a row it worked so will go with that trend.

thanks.
