Apple Watch Intermittent Notifications

Hi, Please can someon help. I have a Apple Watch SE.

All was workign fine up till about couple of months ago.

Every now and then, I recieve no notifiations on the watch but on the

phone instead.

The phone is not being used, so the notifications should be on my watch.

All the settings are as follows

Notificaiton Indicator - ON

Show Summery - ON

Tap to Show Full - ON


Mirror on Phone Alerts - The ones I want are all selected (there is only 4).


I have resarted both the watch and phone, both IOS are up to date.

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.

 

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 at the top of your watch face when you have unread notifications. If you want to hide the notification icon, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap Notifications, then turn off Notifications Indicator.

When you read or dismiss notifications on your Apple Watch, they’re also dismissed from your iPhone.
