Notifications are received but not alerted on my watch

I bought my Forerunner 955 two weeks ago. As soon as I paired it with my phone, I immediately started receiving notifications on my watch, such as from WhatsApp (which proves that it works).


However, later I started configuring all the settings on my watch just like I'd like them, and I removed WhatsApp notifications, since I only want to receive phone calls and selected app notifications.


After doing that, I have the following problem: the watch doesn't notify me of calls at all. Moreover, the notifications from apps appear in the notifications Glance if I manually check there, but the watch doesn't vibrate nor alerts me in any way when I have an incoming notification. I need to resolve this issue in order to: 1) receive phone call notifications, and 2) receive alerts of incoming notifications.

I have tried to enable all notifications again, I have restarted the watch and the phone, I have changed different settings, but I haven't been able to find out the issue.

This is the current configuration:

-Garmin Connect > Settings > Notifications > App Notifications: Notification Access is enabled, and all apps are checked.

-Garmin Connect > Settings > Phone Permissions: all permissions are enabled (Calendar, Call Log, Camera, Contacts, Files & Media, Location, Phone Calls, SMS Messages).

-Garmin Connect > Forerunner 955 Settings > Notifications & Alerts > Smart Notifications:
-During Activity: Status On, Calls Vibration, Texts Off, Apps Vibration.
-General Use: Status On, Calls Vibration, Texts Off, Apps Tone and Vibe, Privacy Off, Timeout Short

-Moreover, I confirm that the watch is connected to the phone via Bluetooth, and that the Do Not Disturb mode is off.

Please note that app notifications are received, but are only visible in the Notifications glance when checked manually, I want alerts. Phone call alerts are not received at all on the watch.
