Apple Watch stopped providing notification

My Apple Watch 7, is 8.6 stopped providing both sounds, such as when a timer ends, and haptics, such as when using breathing meditation. It’s been about a week and I can’t figure out why.

First, make sure you are not in silent Mode or have Theater Mode turned on :

Use Control Center on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
