Apple Watch sounds & haptics unresponsive

Hi I have a apple watch series 7 OS11.1. My problem is when unlocking the water lock mode I no longer get tones or harpics.


My problem is when unlocking the water lock mode [to unlock I press the crown.] I no longer get tones or harpics, I just have the graphics on the face/screen. The tones and harpics work otherwise for alerts etc. I have tried restarts and looked in sounds and harpics in settings. Can anyone please help? Thank you.

You're welcome 🙂

Your watch creates automatic backups, which are part of the backup of your paired iPhone.


...


Your Apple Watch data is backed up to the iPhone that it's paired with.* This happens automatically as long as your iPhone and Apple Watch are near each other, so you don't need to do anything to keep your watch backed up.


When you unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone, the watch is backed up completely to your iPhone to make sure that the latest data is saved. You can use the backed-up Apple Watch data on your iPhone if you ever need to restore your Apple Watch, or when you set up a new Apple Watch.


When you back up your iPhone to iCloud or your computer, your iPhone backup includes your Apple Watch data. This means that when you set up a new iPhone and restore it from backup, your latest Apple Watch data is also restored.
