How notifications behave depends on the status of your devices. In order to bring notifications to your attention as soon as possible:
- If your iPhone is unlocked, you will receive notifications on your iPhone instead of on your watch.
- If your iPhone is locked or asleep and your watch is unlocked and on your wrist, you will receive notifications on your watch.
- If your watch is locked or has Do Not Disturb enabled, notifications will go to your iPhone.

Check also how you have configured your Apple Watch to advise you of Messages notifications:
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Notifications > Messages;
- For example, you might select Custom and choose to enable each of Show Alerts, Sound and Haptic (under the Alerts heading).
You may also wish to check your notification settings for your iPhone:
- On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Notifications > Messages - ensure that Show on Lock Screen is enabled.
