I like to listen to songs on YouTube while doing my hobbies. I have an Apple Watch to give me notifications while I’m away from my phone. While songs are playing, my watch does not give me any sort of notification, and I find that very annoying for when I get carried away with my hobbies and miss texts from people. Is there any way to change this, to where I can receive notifications normally on my watch?

Hey KINGFNFAL,
It sounds like you have questions about notifications on your Apple Watch. We can understand wanting to look into that further. We want to help.
If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll only receive notifications on your iPhone and not on your Apple Watch.
You can learn more about that here: 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.
Some apps, such as the Noise app, are only on your Apple Watch. Notifications for these apps don't appear on your iPhone.
The red notification icon 
appears on your watch face when you get a notification. When you dismiss notifications on your Apple Watch, they’re also dismissed from your iPhone. "
Thanks!
