My Watch is set to mirror my phone in terms of Mail and Message notifications, but the Watch is not getting them. My texts and e-mails arrive on the Watch, but I do not get the notifications I expect. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Here is what worked for me.
Hi,
I never had this problem until I moved over to an iPhone 7 and I could not figure out how to get it back. Prior to this, the processed worked exactly like Apple described it. Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Since upgrading, my main concern was with apps like Whatsapp and instamessage messages going completely silent on the phone and watch even though everything else would notify me. I tried many apparent 'fixes' and settings change but in the end, after two months of disappointment, I found "my" fix today.... 'force restart' the Apple Watch...!!!
You do this by pressing and holding both the side button and digital crown for at least 10 seconds until the apple logo appears. Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Since doing this, my problem is gone and the notification sound process works as I remembered. Hopefully it last long term and I won't have to force restart every time just to fix this.
(p.s. for a few minutes after the force restart, I was getting sound notifications on both the phone and watch at the same time even though the phone was locked and the watch was unlocked and on my wrist. It did not repeat after a while though)
its happen with me too , just turn on airplane mode on in the watch , then off again
Nothing else worked but this. Thank you pal.
This worked for me too! Tried several other suggestions and no change - tried turning off "cover to mute" and it worked. Even works when I turned "cover to mute" back on.
This totally resolved my issue !
Only thing is even though I'm using my phone and I'm texting someone the Apple Watch still vibrates.
This totally did it for me, I turned off wrist detection and I started getting all my notifications. Before I would only get them when my watch was awake!
If you have a blue half moon symbol at top of the watch face, try turning 'Do Not Disturb' off on your iPhone.
Thank you very much... it really worked for me...
Thanks, this worked for me, although I don't think the infra red is the issue but my tattooed arm that causes confusion.
TATOOS AND HAIR IS A SENSOR BLOCK ....TURN YOUR WRIST DETECTION OFF THANX
Sorry, I don't find a ckover to mute in my iWatch app?
if you switch off wrist detection, does t that eat up your battery?
Thank god for your help I was going mad thinking I'd wasted £400 turning off wrist detection worked
