watchOS 3.0 update won't send message notifications

I have recently installed watchOS 3.0 and iOS10. I am not getting the notifications on the watch. I have checked all notifications settings, restarted both devices and even unpaired/repaired my watch and nothing is working. Any ideas?

Keep in mind that 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.
