Notifications have become intermittent. Is my watch defective?

Notifications have stopped working on my watch. I didn't realize until after I got an S60 how much I appreciate this feature! I have gone through the manual, powered off and restarted both my phone and watch several times, uninstalled and reinstalled the Garmin Connect app, nothing seems to be a complete fix. When I reinstall the app notifications may work for a short period. And occasionally they'll work but for the most part this function is no longer operable. Looking for anyone with similar experiences especially if there's a fix available. Have researched as best I can to no avail. Second question, something I really don't want to do if at all possible but what would be the worst case if I reset the watch entirely?

    It probably won’t help or speed up a fix ( if ever Garmin got found to it ) , but I’ve phoned UK Garmin support and also direct messaged on Twitter … to have a moan Rage. The same answer as in here “ we are working on it , apologies, etc “ …But the more the merrier doing this might help a quicker fix ( I can hope !! ) …,  but I did feel better for the 5 minutes doing so Sweat smile

    i find my watch connects and disconnects from my iPhone 12 mini (which is about 2 weeks new) without me knowing.  When it disconnects, i don't get any notifications.  Never was a problem with my apple watch 5.

    The difference between your Apple watch and Garmin is that Apple actually cares about their product and takes their forum's feedback seriously.

    Sorry your having the same issues as us Samsung users , but also I’m glad in a way as Garmin been saying to me the issue was with the communication between the golf app  and Samsung phones !! Your issues with an Apple proves them wrong or lying Rage

    im an idiot.  i tried it again and because so damn frustrated i blew my 2 first holes so distracted my the watch not working again.  Im don't with it.  A total waste go money. Im going back to the V1 Game app on my iPhone and apple watch.  I just paid for the shot tracking and will see how that works.  At least the app works well in the phone for gauging stances and score tracking.  Never freezes at all!

    Mine works fine as a ‘ golf’ watch aid etc , just 5h3 notifications are intermittent, but I don’t need notifications when I’m playing !!

    Dude, you were bitching about notifications just as much as me.  Now you've changed your tune.  I don't disagree, as a golf aid, the watch is close to impeccable.  Perfect styling and it worked well.  I loved being able to scroll through the various distances to determine which club to hit based on fairway bunkers, water, etc.  However, I was not going to pay $500 for a watch that all features (as simple as notifications and smart reply edits) to work.  Had those features worked, i would have kept my watch and been totally happy.  This problem was first reported over 6 months ago and no fix to date other than delete the golf app on your phone.  That is unacceptable.  I've played one round with my new watch, and new app, and need to get accustomed to both.  Will keep you posted.

    You’re a Galaxy Watch 3 holder now…you cannot post here any more…LOL…just kidding…:-)…I must say after your last post I was also intrigued by the Samsung but my S62 is out of the return period so I cannot return it any longer and I don’t want to spend even more money on another watch…honestly the golf features on the S62 is great…But I agree with you simple smart notification features on such a watch should work. So for the rest of us that is stuck with the S62 we will keep on bitching and moaning with Garmin and hopefully this decade they will fix the issue.
