Why isn’t there an option to always show notifications on my watch even if they have appeared on the phone?


It’s really annoying when you don’t get a notification because it’s decided that you probably saw it elsewhere.

Notifications are designed so that when the iPhone is open, you will see notifications on the iPhone. If the iPhone is locked, then notifications will appear on the Watch. This is now notifications work when you have a paired Apple Watch and are wearing it. See this, Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
