Since updating my Watch to OS 2.2.2., I do not receive notifications on the Watch.

Since updating my Watch to OS 2.2.2., I do not receive notifications on the Watch. Prior to updating, I would regularly receive news notifications, messages, etc. on the Watch and it was great. Now, not only do I not receive notifications on the Watch, it says "no notifications" when I swipe down or only shows the Weekly Summary for the Activity App. I've checked all the settings on the phone and everything seems to be working properly and I have the Watch setting set for Notifications. Any thoughts?

Restart your watch.

Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
Drag the slider to turn off your device.
After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

Hi

How notifications behave depends on the status of your devices and your settings. With Wrist Detection enabled, 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 (regardless of whether the watch screen is asleep or awake) 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.
