Automatic message pop up on Apple Watch.

I've had my Apple Watch for all of four days now! I was really enjoying the fact that messages to my phone immediately came onto the watch, where I found it very easy to answer them. I woke up this morning and it no longer does that. What do I do to get this feature back?

thanks

I believe messages work like notifications. Notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked. For more info, see:

If that does not help try these steps:
