I'm tired of my galaxy watch vibrating as though there is a notification, with no notifications recorded on the watch.

If my watch vibrates, there should be a notification - if I've walked away from my paired phone, and this is what it's trying to tell me, THERE SHOULD BE A NOTIFICATION available to review on the watch - AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THAT CATEGORY of notification. Excess, meaninless vibrations devalue the usefulness of the vibtate feature.

"Bluetooth Disconnection Alerts". Go into Settings - Connections - Alerts. Turn this feature off.  Helped some users.

Thank you for the response but the key word in there is "some". I've turned off those notifications and my still buzzes non-stop. I changed from Apple products to Samsung and I'm very disappointed in the watch!

But then, when you head out for work, and forgot your phone, the watch doesn't remind you.
Mine vibrates regularly, with the phone just inches from the watch.
This is my second Samsung Watch model. It's better than the first one, but still... SO MANY BUGS.

I just bought this watch yesterday and I'm just glad it's not me missing something. AGREED to this entire post, and honestly a little disappointed.

Exactly the same sentiment as OP. The alerts are not what I want to disable. It's good to know when it disconnects. What's irritating is the lack of CONTEXT of why the vibrate occurs. It shouldn't be an "unlockable wow mystery solved!" that disabling BT connection alerts stops the random vibrating. The vibrates should absolutely always accompany the watch face lighting up and saying "hey, here's what I'm vibrating to tell you!".

 

Having it vibrate without anything happening on the screen is like someone tapping you on the shoulder and disappearing.

I have the same problem,I've tried the above with no luck. I'm a carer so rely on my watch alot for various reasons so throwing my watch through a window isn't a option. I've turned vibrate off for now so solve the problem temporarily until a fix is found!

Same issue. 
I am surprised. What is Samsung doing?
The feature is more a nuisance now.

I have the same issue, so annoying and buggy. Do they test their products?

I just got my galaxy watch today and seriously considering returning it due to the random vibrations. Very disappointed.
