The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

The same is happening to me. I’ve owned 3 different types of Apple Watch and this one by far is the most trouble some. I even exchanged the watch to only run into the same issues with my current watch. I’m afraid it’s a faulty hardware and bad set up. Now what should we do? I rely on these notifications for work and I can’t access them with ease as we should for the amount of money we pay. 😡
