I often have to use my phone on silent and use only vibration, but i can't seem to find how to set it to vibrate on notifications. When i recieve a phone call it vibrates, but when i recieve an sms it does nothing. I have selected from "sound setting" to always vibrate, but it doesn't. can anyone help me?
I am using my 360 with a Galaxy Note 3. What I have found is that ONLY if the phone actually is set to make a physical sound, does the watch vibrate. For example, my email is set to vibrate only my phone. I do this because I get quite a lot of emails and don't want the phone beeping all the time...vibrate is sufficient. But then the watch gets the alert but does not vibrate. Only if I set the email app to make a sound does the watch vibrate.
Surely this is a bug? If the phone makes a sound OR vibrates, the watch should vibrate?
It's not a bug. As far as I know, the moto360 will currently only vibrate when your phone has ringer(ringtone/notification sound) enabled. Mine doesn't vibrate at all if the phone is on vibrate.

It may well be the current design, but if that is the case it's stupid! Why wouldn't you want the watch to vibrate if the phone vibrates?!

I agree with you. It's completely stupid. I came searching for an answer when my Moto 360 didn't vibrate with my Note 2, and I found this thread. I want the watch to notify me of a message or whatever the notification may be instead of the phone. This seems like an easy thing to make an option and I'm unsure how they missed the boat on this one.
I was also wondering why the watch was not vibrating. I have 99% of my notices sent to silent, no vibrate and just flash the LED indicator (I'm using PA on a Samsung Galaxy S3). I then stumbled across this thread and found my answer. I had to change the notifications in the various apps to vibrate and then the watch vibrates.
This seems quite silly to me. I don't want my phone to vibrate, I just want the watch to vibrate. One would think (hope) that you'll be able to set the watch/wear vibrate notifications independent of the phone notifications in a future upgrade.

i don't have mine to vibrate at different notifications, but rather, my phone is set on vibrate basically 24/7.
my watch vibrates when i get notifications that only vibrate my phone.

in android wear settings, there's a setting regarding when your phone is on silent, you can select it to either mute both phone and watch or just vibrate the watch

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. I'll be interested in seeing what it does tonight in the charging cradle. Really don't want that buzzing/vibrating all night.

I have a Moto X, and my 360 vibrates regardless of sound or vibrate mode on my phone.
Kind of makes sense that Moto works best with Moto.
I ended up having to go back to the alert on both option. With it set on wear only it mutes the phone, which is not what I want.

Maybe my notifications would make noise if I didn't have my phone on vibrate all the time I don't know... But since I don't keep my phone in a purse I don't need a loud noise to realize a call is coming in

Where is this setting?? I keep my phone on vibrate all the time, and my Fit vibrates with each notification. This "smart" watch doesn't seem to do that...
Thanks
OK so I figured if I set my phone volume to vibrate only, like I typically do when I'm in a meeting or at a Dr appointment, that my watch would also change to vibrate only, but it doesn't appear to do so because my watch still rings if I receive a call. Anyone else have this issue? If I set my phone to Do Not Disturb, then it silences my watch, but that also disables vibration which I do not want. I know I can also go into the watch menu and disable sound that way, but I just thought it was suppose to mirror the phone settings.
What about selecting "Sound on/off" from the drop down menu on the watch?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I have already tried that. It just turns off sounds on the watch and not on the phone.
Sorry to revive a dead thread... going to bump here. But did you ever figure this out? Anyone? Thanks. =)
I was about to start a new thread about this when I found this one. I also want my watch to ring when my phone does and not when my phone is muted. I attend a few events a week where everyone's phone must be muted. I imagine that do not disturb mode would work, but I use vibrate only so I'll at least feel when I get notifications.
If I'm reading this Google article right, this should be possible and automatic: https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6056843?hl=en
So I've had my watch on silent for months. No issues. Notifications come through , the watch just vibrates. No "sound " alert
Today , notifications stop working. Cannot work out why. Turn the volume up a notch and they start coming through. Go back to silent, stops them
This hasn't happened until now ...surely you can choose to just have the watch vibrate for notifications??
Hi,
I have a Watch GT Classic, but I don't want it to ring/vibrate when I get a phone call.
Is there anyway to disable this? I already disabled all notifications, but the calls keep coming through.
I have seen the Do Not Disturb function, but that stops the display from turning on when turn my wrist which basically makes the watch unusable.
Are there any other options?
Opper
don't allow the Huawei health app to access your notifications.
