Why am I not receiving notifications from my Apple Watch Series 10?

Brand new Apple Watch Series 10. When it is finished charging, I simply do not get the notification on my phone as I did with my old watch.


The settings to notify me (Track Sleep, Charging Reminders) are ON, as before. All notifications for apps on both sides enabled. Watch and phone are up to date.


Steps taken:


Rebooted both watch and phone.

Toggled all settings off and on, on both devices.

Unpaired watch and set up again. Rinse, repeat.

Rebooted both again.


No matter what I do it will not notify me, as the old watch was doing just fine. All settings are correct. Watch is tracking sleep just fine.


Watch talks to phone fine for other things, for instance ECG result notifications pop up on phone after testing.


Ideas?

Update to my original post:

I did a Restore from a Backup from my Previous Watch followed the prompts and this morning the Notifications for "Your Battery is fully charged" has returned.


Initially when i got my new watch 10 i ran it as a new watch, a mistake on my part.

Just confirming that the "restore watch from backup" mentioned in this thread did the trick for me.


I had a Series 6 and upgraded to an Ultra 2 in September, but added it as a new, 2nd watch to my phone before removing the Series 6. Never can I recall getting the charge notifications on the Ultra 2 (they worked on the Series 6). I've been patiently waiting for a fix, but none has arrived as of writing (but just a few days ago I did contract Apple support which did acknowledge the issue, but could not say when it may be fixed, or even what exactly causes the issue -- just to "check back" periodically if the issue still lingers).

I went from Apple Watch s8 and iPhone 14 Pro to the series 10 and 16 pro. Charging notifications worked just fine with the old watch/iphone and has never worked since I upgraded. I did all the steps you listed and still nothing. Apple support was trying to schedule an appointment at an Apple Store but I’m just gonna wait it out and hope it’s just a bug.

I’ve been having the issue for months. I actually think mine started on my prior Apple Watch. I upgraded to the 10 a few months ago, went thru all the troubleshooting even sent my watch in for repairs. It’s got to be the software glitch. I’ve updated my iPhone and watch with every update and beta update hoping this issue gets fixed. It’s intermittent as well. I’ll start receiving notifications and then when I need to charge my watch it loses that connection and I have the issue all over again. Other than the charging there is no recreating the issues, it just happens out of nowhere. I hope Apple is reading these! What’s the point of a watch to receive your notifications and you don’t get notified and have to rely looking at your phone all the time. I am kinda regretting upgrading my watch and wasting the money.
