Help with Notifications

Hi - I'm not able to get any notifications on my F5. I get them fine on my F5S, so I am pretty sure I know how to set them up, but no joy.
Notifications turned on in app, in watch settings. Chose tone and vibrate, neither is happening. Calendar widget will update sometimes, but no notification. Phone call - no notification.
Text - doesn't even show on watch.
Uninstalled / reinstalled app - reset watch.
Synced with G Express. Updated.
Alarm works.
Android 7.1.1 (on both phones, so is working with F5S)

Help please!

    I'm having the same problem with a new Fenix 5 on an iPhone 7. I'm running iOS 11 Public Beta 2, so that may be part of the problem. I've only had the watch for 6 days and notifications worked just fine out of the box. Sometime yesterday morning they stopped working completely. I've verified settings on the watch, and in the Garmin Connect app. I've also done a factory reset on the watch. Still no notifications.

    This finally worked for me with the new ios installed i reset my phone under settings reset and all notifications started to work. At least for right now. Seems like problem is with apple phone blocking notifications and not sending vib etc. let me knowif this helps?

    Resetting settings worked for me as well. However having to setup all my apps' notification and location settings was really a pain. I read on another forum that perhaps just resetting network settings would have worked. If it happens again, I'll try that.
