Hey there Mombo12,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


To get started, are you enabling the Focus setting from your iPhone? If so, do you have Share Across Devices enabled in Settings > Focus on your iPhone? If not, then this would only enable the Focus settings on your iPhone, and would not enabled on your Apple Watch as well.


For more details, check out this link here: Use Focus on Apple Watch - Apple Support

Note: To have your Focus settings shared across all your devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID, open Settings on your iPhone, tap Focus, then turn on Share Across Devices.


If Share Across Devices is enabled, and you can see that the Focus is enabled on your Apple Watch when you get a notification, then we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Apple Support


We hope that's able to help.


Take care!
