How to make your Apple Watch receive text messages and phone calls

I just bought a series 1 apple watch and it doesn’t seem to be pairing correctl. I am not receiving text messages on my watch. The red dot at the top of the screen isn’t showing either. How do I fix this problem?


Thanks

Apple Watch, iOS 10.3.1, Apple Watch series 1 and IPhone 6X+

This is how notifications work on the Apple Watch. Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


As far as setting them up, that is done in the Watch app on the iPhone. If you need assistance with that, take a look at this link for the Apple Watch User Guide, and look up Notifications. https://help.apple.com/watch/
