You seem to misunderstand what I was saying. I'm saying that it stops making any sounds and haptics, including vibrations randomly and for no apparent reason. Restarting the watch fixes the issue.
I have gone through all the steps you listed above so many times and it doesn't fix anything. I keep my watch and phone clean, including checking for debris often. I have verified my watch is not on mute, but even if it were, it would still vibrate. I always checking for latest OS versions for both devices and installing them.
If you look at the page I posted from, it gives all the same steps you posted in an effort to help, which is less than helpful and frankly somewhat insulting. Did you not understand what I meant by my initial post?
So again, my watch will randomly stop producing sounds and any other haptics alert. This issue seems completely random and I cannot seem to replicate it. There is no indication it has stopped, until I have an alarm that doesn't sound. Since I use my watch as my alarm clock, this is an issue.
I have gone through all the troubleshooting steps posted above and I have verified my sounds and haptics settings are correct according to the article I linked in my initial post.
Any suggestions? Any one else have a similar experience?

Hello AnthonySHLC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We recommend ensuring that both your Apple Watch and iPhone are running the latest OS versions.
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You'll also want to check the speaker of the Apple Watch for any debris, along with removing its case (if applicable) to ensure it's not covering the speaker.
The article you came from is also a great troubleshooting article for this type of issue.
Turning the volume up, along with managing the haptic alerts on the Apple Watch can also help: Change the audio and notification settings on your Apple Watch
