I would suggest a couple things that you could try:

  1. Using the paired iPhone, open the Watch app then click on "Notifications". Scroll down to the section "Mirror iPhone Alerts From" and give this long list a good study. I'm sure that there are a bunch of them that are on but that you really don't care about seeing a notification from. Turn a bunch of the unnecessary ones off and see if it helps.
  2. I'd try to reboot both the watch and the paired iPhone. Or even try doing a Forced Restart on the watch.

Apple says it best when, in this article, they say, "If something isn't working right..."

Let us know if these things help you or not.

Best of luck to you 😉
