Apple Watch does not show mail notifications

I have a new Apple Watch running 3.0 and an iPhone 6s running ios 10. I set up email notifications in the ios watch app, however my mail notifications are not appearing on the watch.

I have no idea what else to try. Suggestions?

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.
