Notifications don't show on watch

Since the last update, notifications no longer show up on my watch. In the watch app on my phone, notification indicator, show summary when locked, and tap to show full notification are all turned on. Currently I get a ding when a notification comes in, but I have to go to my phone to see it. I used to be able to read the summary notification on my watch and then could tap the watch for the whole notification. Any ideas? Thanks.
