Is the Watch paired to the iPhone? Do you have notifications turned on for the Watch and set to Mirror your iPhone? Do you hear notifications on your iPhone during this time? Do you have Wrist Detection turned on in Settings>Passcode? Have you tried unpairing your Watch and pairing it again?

Okay, so if you are saying yes to everything, if you are getting notifications on the phone and not the Watch, you have something set incorrectly. If the iPhone is locked, you should get the notifications on the Watch. If the iPhone is unlocked, then the notifications should come to the phone. So, you would need to determine if you are getting notifications correctly based on that information. If not, then I would suggest unpairing the Watch and the pair it and set it up as a new device and try again.
