I've noticed today that quick replies work for SMS (text) messages, with Facebook Messenger the watch UI display Reply sent, but it never actually gets thru.
Has anyone else noticed that?

I have the Vivoactive 5 and am having this problem as well. Came here looking for answers, haven't found any yet.
Have tested a workaround that works! (Android latest version)
1. Uninstall FB Messenger
2. Go to uptodown.com and download November version of FB Messenger version 485.2.0.68.111
direct link here
obs! Uptodown…
I did get reply from Garmin Support now:
Thank you for following up on your case.
I have checked our systems and can see that more users than just you are experiencing this issue.
Our developers have thoroughly…
same issue here with fenix 8, it did work about 2-3 week ago for a while... i was a bit surprised, then it stopped working agian.
I dont think it matters which Garmin watch you have.
For me replies to SMS is working fine as others have reported the same.
But a few months ago replies via Facebook Messenger dont go through, even though the watch says it does.
FR965, Descent G1, Descent Mk3i, none work.
I think there was a FB Messenger update recently, something to do with encryption, and possibly broke the connection between FBM and GC ?
Did some searching online and 99% sure that this is a FB Messenger issue, following this thread (se link), it seems that people with Android and Samsung Watch are having the exact same issue, message shows as "sent" on the watch, but nothing is sent, and it works fine with SMS messages and other apps:

Not sure cause the like reply works, the thumbs Works, but not the quick replies like " yes,no, thanks" etc
Thank you for sharing this, this is so useful!

obs! Uptodown is a well-established platform for downloading software and applications
3. Transfer it to your phone, i.e via Google Drive
4. Install it
5. Remember to turn off App auto-update on you phone: Play Store --> Account --> Settings --> Network Settings --> Dont Update Apps Automatically
Now all reply from my Garmin Watch works perfectly!
for me even the thumbs up doesn't work.
I installed an older version of facebook messenger and now its ok!!!
I used the "Report Technical Problem" menu option under settings in FB Messenger to highlight the issue.
