I recently bought a Series 6 Watch. Now, when I get a text message it shows up but I don't see the message. I have to tap the watch to read the message. Prior to this I was able to see the message just by turning my wrist.

It worked this way for a while on my Series 6 but stopped recently. I have checked all the settings but I can't find anything that would change this.

I figured it out. I had Notification Privacy on in the watch settings.
