On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Notifications > tap on the app name (eg Facebook): check that Allow Notifications, Show in Notification Centre and Show on Lock Screen are each turned on.
Next, to manage the notifications settings for apps on Apple Watch:
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Notifications > scroll down to the list of apps under the heading "Mirror iPhone Alerts From" > enable notifications for each app.

Dec 27, 2015 2:54 PM in response to JenJ24by Jonathan UK,Keep in mind that how notifications behave depends on the status of your devices and on how your watch is configured. 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.
