My watch doesn’t notify me when I’m receiving calls

why doesn’t my Apple Watch 4 not notify me when someone is calling me or texting me? I’ve checked and rechecked my settings and there correct. I’ve reset my watch multiple times.

Sometime resetting your watch is not enough. You have to do your iPhone as well.


First try force restarting your iPhone by whatever method your version calls for.  As soon as you see the Apple logo force restart your watch by holding in the crown and side button for 10 seconds till you see the Apple logo then release.  Log into your iPhone and wait for your watch to boot, then log into it.


Failing that I'd try unpairing the watch from your iPhone then pairing it back setting it up as new.
