Why is there a notification delay between my iPhone and my Apple Watch?

Hi,

Since I updated my Apple Watch, notifications are either coming through delayed (they come up on my phone - unlocked or locked) and then after 15-20 seconds comes through to my watch. It used to only buzz on my watch which is preferred.

I've also noticed my alarms are going off on my phone but not my watch.

How can I fix both of these issues?

Did you already force restart both of your devices after the latest updates?

As for the alarms, make sure you have set up the watch to mirror your iPhone in the Watch App or directly on your settings on your watch.
