A couple of suggestions that might be solutions to your issues:
- Check the in-watch settings for the Messages app and make sure "Repeat" is off.
- A longer press (couple of seconds) will always bring you back to the watch face.
- Same as 1. but change the vibration pattern to something that's longer or repeats in a pattern that's easier to detect.
- Check the in-watch settings for the Messages app and make sure "Repeat" is off.

I have been using my Bangle JS 2 for a few weeks now, and as a former Pebble user I love the watch. I love the idea, the open nature, the battery life, the eco system. There's a lot to love here. Just a few tweaks and for me it's perfect!
I do however have a few issues with notifications.
I'm using banglejs Gadgetbridge on my Android phone. When I receive a notification the watch shows the notifcation and vibrates. However, it will not stop vibriting until I press the button on the watch. Which means that if I don't wear the watch (for example at night) it will just continue to vibrate and drain the battery.
Is there a fix for this? Did I miss a setting in Gadgetbridge?
Is there a way for the watch button to always instantly bring me back to the watch face? I don't need to see a list of older notifications. I find myself just endlessly pressing the back button until I see my watch face again after receiving a notification.
Last issue, and I've seen others mention this as well; the vibration motor is really weak. I have my phone set to silent and use my watch to notify me for incoming calls and messages. However, I miss a lot of calls because of the week vibration.
Is this something that can be addressed in software? Or is there a way to install a beefier vibration motor, like the on in the Pebble (set to jackhammer that thing could wake you up).
