Gw4 problems with receiving notifications?

[Sk1990]

Is anyone have problems with receiving notifications on the galaxy watch 4 classic?

[Steven1979yoxall]

Yes....very frustrating I've tried alsorts to try resolve it to no joy

Yes, some notifications don't vibrate or turn the watch screen on (yes, I have that feature turned on), and...

Sometimes a notification does buzz, but when I look at my watch, the screen is blurred and is displaying some generic digital clock over the top, and I have to hit a button to go back to the notification. Have you seen this?

Also didn't know if there was a fix for this. May be the problem??

Galaxy Wearable app update has been released today.

This hasn't made any difference

I've got the 4G version and got the update today. Didn't seem to make any difference but changed the setting to always show notifications rather than just if I wasn't using my phone and I'm getting some Gmail notifications now so I don't know if there's something weird with that setting and the watch thinking the phone is still active.

looks like this watch doesn't work on tattooed wrists

I think your right. I just tried it on my other wrist that has no tattoo and it works fine

I've stuck a skin coloured piece of fabric on the sensor and it's working.
