VIBRATION FOR NOTIFICATIONS NOT WORKING FOR GARMIN INSTINCT TACTICAL

Former Member over 4 years ago

I have read a lot of posts talking about the same problem, I have literally done every single thing I've read to make my Garmin Instinct Tactical vibrate when I get notifications, but Im still not getting the vibration from the watch. It is an important aspect for me, as I need it for work. Please help me, I´m sure there´s must be something I´m doing wrong, I´ve only had this watch for 2 months now. Thanks

Not sure whether I understand - is it a problem of the vibrations only, or you do not get the notifications on the watch face either? If notifications work, but there are no vibrations, then you may have set the watch into the tactical stealth mode, or you are within the hours you defined for sleep, or have perhaps activated the Do Not Disturb mode. Another possibility is a hardware failure, where the vibration does not work at all - did you try setting it up for some other function (for example you can set vibrating on each button-press)?

Curiously today, the vibration started working. I did receive every notification, but the watch just didn’t vibrate when I got them... Today it started working properly, apparently as soon as I selected “Done” when finished some “Cardio Workout”, it was a wierd thing indeed, but I’m happy as long as it works. Thank you for answering my post anyways.
