Handwash no sounds...

[Giffel]

After updating my AW series 6 to WatchOS 7.1 i don't hear any sounds when Handwash activates/finishes, I only get the haptic feedback, checked the settings and everything looks correct.
Anyone else experiencing this or have any solutions?

I noticed the same "behavior" but not the same as you: I'm getting the haptic and sounds when it finishes, but not getting any sound or haptic when it activates. GPS-Only Watch SE with 7.1 (freshly installed).

Regards.

Excuse the snotty comment here but I sure hope apple didn’t pull more than one resource to add this useless feature.

Yep this is the same issue I am having. I get the sound and haptics when it finishes but not when it starts. This started after upgrading to 7.1. I was just about to make a thread about this.

Alright, so this is a thing and should be widespread. It remains to be seen whether it's a bug or an intentional modification on how this function actually works.

I can confirm that they have removed it, the start sound that is, with a recent update. But I do get full haptics and sound at the end. I’m assuming the OP has restarted his watch?

It has been restarted and unpaired

Me too, starting sound is disabled but ending sound not.

I’m guessing all of the sounds are okay? What about disabling hand washing and then restart the watch. And then re-enable it? Certainly a strange one.

Yes all other sounds are ok.
I will try disabling and then restart

Confirm the missing start sound when updating to 7.1. Whether intentionally or not remains

Please report it then. It works fine on mine.
