I posted about this topic before but I have a new idea for a solution. The vibration is definitely too weak on the Steel HR Sport and I find I often miss notifications, however, I realize that I never miss an alarm or telephone call. I realized that it is because the length of the vibration for those two notifications is different, it is longer (and repetitive). I think if Withings is unable to make the actual vibrations "stronger" on the watch, maybe they could make the notification vibration just a little bit "longer". So when I receive and email notification or an app notification, instead of the current quick burst vibration, maybe the watch could vibrate for a full second or do multiple vibrations. Just an idea, because missing emails etc is definitely getting frustrating.

I agree wholeheartedly! I just got my Steel HR Sport and like it in every other aspect, but the vibrations are very weak! Particularly for the calendar notifications, where it's just a quick buzz and gone. I bought this to replace my Samsumg Galaxy Watch because that one interfered with my iPhone streaming to my hearing aids. That required turning the bluetooth on the watch off when I got a call. Since the Steel HR Sport doesn't try to be a phone, it's great for me, except for the vibrations on notifications. It must be possible to at least lengthen the vibration with an update!
