Hello StephanieAb94,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. We'd like to share some information with you. When you're using your Apple Watch, your notifications for messages will appear on the Apple Watch. They will not appear on both your devices at the same time. This information is explained more in-depth here: Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Where notifications appear
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.
We hope this information is useful. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Take care.
