How can I get my Apple Watch (series 6) to receive notifications when it’s on a nurse fob (attached to my uniform)? Is it possible even? I’ve turned off the passcode. It still monitors steps etc but it doesn’t receive notifications of calls, texts or WhatsApp messages. My phone is locked and in my pocket with Bluetooth on as it is when it’s on my wrist.
Many thanks in advance

So it can’t be done then…that’s a bummer as we’re not allowed to wear watches due to hygiene. Thanks anyway for your help.
Hi thank you for your reply. Are you saying that I’ll get the notifications if I turn wrist detection off? I don’t need the other features that you mention while I’m at work so I wouldn’t be worried about them
You need the wrist detection feature of the watch and by not wearing the watch,wrist detection is inoperable;
You can turn Wrist detection off but there is a downside;
Turning off wrist detection affects these Apple Watch features:
When you use Apple Pay on your Apple Watch, you’ll be prompted to enter your passcode when you double-click the side button to authorize the payment.
Some Activity measurements are unavailable.
Heart rate tracking and notifications are turned off.
Apple Watch will no longer automatically lock and unlock.
Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 and later won't automatically make an emergency call even after it has detected a hard impact fall.
Wow! That looks like a possible answer 😁 I must look into this. Thank you
Because the watch can't detect that you're wearing it then notifications will go to your phone;
What about this;
