Restart your Apple Watch ..


To turn off Apple Watch, press and hold the side button until the sliders appear, then drag the Power Off slider to the right. To turn Apple Watch back on, hold down the side button until the Apple logo appears.

Then check Notifications.

If you still don't see notifications on your Apple Watch ...

When your Apple Watch locks or you turn on Do Not Disturb, your notifications go to your iPhone instead of your watch.

You’ll see User uploaded file on your watch face when your Apple Watch locks. If your Apple Watch has a passcode, it locks automatically when you aren't wearing it, when it loses contact with your skin, or while it's charging.


If Do Not Disturb is on, you'll see User uploaded file on your watch face. To turn this feature on or off, swipe up on the watch face, swipe left or right to the Settings glance, then tap User uploaded file.



"Notifcation alerts appear on the Apple Watch when you're wearing it and it's unlocked. And your won't get any alerts on your Apple Watch if you're actively using your iPhone. To view missed notifications, swipe down on your watch face."


Quote above is available on your iPhone. Tap the Watch app icon then Notifcations.
