Sense - Clear all button in notifications doesn't work

[SunsetRunner]

clear all button in notifications doesnt work. 
it only clears if you clears them one by one or restart your watch.

HI @SunsetRunner  - if your watch isn't syncing properly you may have difficulty operating the notifications options on your watch, and occasionally the only way to resolve old notifications is to restart the watch.

My phone app syncs properly every time so that is not the issue

@Yramos  - it is not a matter of if it syncs every time, it has to be able to reach the phone [without necessarily syncing] in order to Clear the notification on the watch and phone.

If it can't reach the phone when you press clear it will most likely stay.

The “best” answer makes no sense. My Sense is synching, but I can’t CLEAR the notifications with the clear all button - and three of them just show the date (4/7/2022) and won’t clear at all. Seems to correspond with the latest iOS update. 

Also can’t reboot my Sense now. It just won’t shut down, no matter how long I hold the left button down.

Try swiping left to settings

then swipe down and tap shut down

Use the button to restart. 
see if notifications will clear or are cleared.
