Apple Watch 5- not receiving notification of new messages in my watch

Not receiving notification of new messages on my watch. I turned them ‘on’ on my watch and phone and my silent is off. Any ideas?

FYI, notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. For more info, see:

If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode.
