Can’t receive texts, emails on Apple Watch

I’m unable to receive any texts, emails or phone messages on my new Apple Watch. It seems like it didn’t pair completely with my iPhone. It tells me that I need to set up a new email account on my iPhone.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

iMessages not being received by iPhone, only by Apple Watch My iPhone is not receiving any iMessage messages, SMS go through normally. The iMessages go through to my Apple Watch fine and that is the only way I can currently view them. My iPhone can send iMessages and it shows "Delivered", it also shows the typing indicators. When my Apple Watch is powered off and a iMessage is sent to me, it won't show as "Delivered" until the Apple Watch is powered on. And yes, I have gone over all of the basic things, such as turning on and off iMessage, ensuring sending and receiving is enabled, restarts, disabling security features and removing configuration profiles, switching between cellular and WiFi, etc. Does anybody have any experience with this happening or anyways to resolve this.

Not getting mail notifications after watchOS update Hello Before I upgraded to version 10 of my watch (I have the Ultra) and 17 on my phone, I was getting email notifications. Now, it is very random with no pattern that I can determine. For example, last night I got notified of one email but 5 min later I never received a notification of another email that I received. If I swipe on the watch, I can see the email but I want the watch to notify me of incoming mail from certain accounts. I have checked my pairing to my 13 Pro Max and it seems to be connected. I am not in DND mode or airplane mode. I am in a hotel where cell service is not great (2 - 3 bars) but there is cell service and wifi I am looking for any suggestions or ideas. thanks for any help Gary [Re-Titled by Moderator]
