Notification display delay

[xweb10]

I have the WIFI only S3. When I first purchased it months ago, if I received a notification (Hangouts, for example) I could flip my wrist and see the notification on the watch face. As of a recent (1-2 months ago) update, this functionality has seem so slow down significantly. I will feel the watch vibrate, alterting me to a notification. I will turn the watch towards me, and it takes 1-3 seconds and the notification slowly shows. This used to be much quicker, just like how the watch face turn on when twisting your wrist. It is very odd as I stare at a blank screen for a few seconds. There is a definite delay.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior? If so, is there a fix?

EDIT: I have a Pixel 2 XL

Same for me. BT Gear S3 and GS7.

I can't remember how it used to be, I've just passed it off as though the watch is giving you time to raise your arm and look at the notification.

Same here... since the update. I'm noticing the whole watch has slowed in every way.

I've noticed the same thing with my S8+.

Also, the delay from when the notification is received on the phone to when it goes off on the watch is longer as well. It used to be like 2 seconds, now it like 6 seconds.

Same here. It's been running slow since the update, and I finally got annoyed enough to try to find out if anyone has suggestions on how to fix it. I'll post back here if I find anything, hope you'll all do the same.

I was having this issue as well. The only real fix I've found is to enable the "Turn on screen" option under Notifications in the Samsung Gear app settings. That way the screen is already on when I look at it after the vibration and I don't have to wait for it to turn on after the tilt-to-wake activates.
