I have a goal set for a half a mile swim. I don't receive a vibration at my goal. The watch is tight to my wrist. I stopped swimming and waited to reach my goal while I watched it and still there was nothing.
The vibration I feel when I run a mile is very weak too.
Why can't the watch vibrate in the same strong haptic way as when I receive a text or email?
Does anyone have a similar experience and or a solution?
iPhone SE, 12
Hi SwimDaddy,

We understand that haptic feedback is not as strong for your workout goal feedback. For both iPhone and Apple Watch, restart both devices and make sure they're running the latest software updates. If it continues, unpair and pair Apple Watch to restore factory settings. A backup is created before unpairing.
How to unpair and erase your Apple Watch if you have your iPhone
1. Keep your Apple Watch and iPhone close together as you unpair them.
2. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
3. Go to the My Watch tab and tap All Watches.
4. Tap the info buttonnext to the watch that you want to unpair.
5. Tap Unpair Apple Watch.
6. Tap Unpair [your Apple Watch name].
7. For GPS + Cellular models, choose whether to keep or remove your cellular plan.
*If you want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, keep your plan.
*If you don't want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, remove your plan. If you aren't going to pair with a different watch or iPhone, you might need to contact your carrier to cancel your cellular subscription.

Before erasing all content and settings on your Apple Watch, your iPhone creates a new backup of your Apple Watch. You can use the backup to restore a new Apple Watch. After your Apple Watch unpairs, you'll see the Start Pairing message.
