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

- If Do Not Disturb is on, you'll see
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

"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."
