Q: Getting text notifications on iPhone before Apple Watch
No matter what I do I get text nofitications on my iPhone before my Apple Watch - and I have been through the whole procedure described elsewhere on this forum about two-step verification setup etc. etc.
Shouldn't I be getting text notifications on my watch first and not on my iPhone at all as long as I'm wearing it?
Apple Watch, watchOS 1.0.1

Hi Claus
- If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch.
- If your iPhone is locked or asleep and your Apple Watch is unlocked and on your wrist, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch.
- When your Apple Watch locks or you turn on Do Not Disturb, your notifications go to your iPhone instead of your watch.
- You’ll see the lock symbol on your watch face when your Apple Watch locks. If your Apple Watch has a passcode, it locks automatically when you aren't wearing it, when it loses contact with your skin or while it's charging.
- If Do Not Disturb is on, you'll see the moon symbol on your watch face. To turn this feature on or off, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and tap My Watch > Do Not Disturb.
