G'day wlandrum32,


Thanks for the post in Apple Support Communities. Notifications are definitely important. It sounds like you're not hearing notifications on your iPhone when you're using your Apple Watch. We're happy to share a resource that may shed some light on this.


This may account for what's happening: Notifications on your Apple Watch


"Where you’ll see your notifications

Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. Learn when a notification might appear on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch, below.

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."


Depending on exactly how you're using the devices, that may explain what's happening. Let us know!


Best wishes.
