Have owned the Apple Watch since day one, Series One.

I would consider myself quite knowledgeable of how to use it and set up notifications.

However, recently, my watch has stopped pushing email notifications.

While I get notifications from all my news sources and Nest devices, no email notifications arrive.

Have been using AIRMAIL on IOS and have made certain notifications are turned on in the Apple Watch app.

Thinking that perhaps AIRMAIL suddenly became the problem, I turned APPLE MAIL back on, made sure notifications were turned on in the watch app -and- the IOS settings.

Still no push of email.

My thoughts are perhaps since I am in the IOS beta program perhaps I am on a beta that has screwed up the notification process.

Anybody think of anything else that might be an issue?

Thank you in advance.

I think there is a good chance you're right. You might have picked up a bug when you last upgraded in the beta program. Not sure if you tried this but the only other thing to try is to unpair and re-pair the watch.

Just a word of advice (I come from the software industry). Don't go on beta with a device you depend on. Beta's inherently will have bugs. Often those bugs can interfere with things you need.
 
You would think I would have learned that by now. Thank you.

Did you check that the email alerts come only from special contacts? Or from everyone?

Jav,

Appreciate you trying to help.

The situation resolved itself. I did a reboot of my watch. Powered it down and back up. Funny. I did that prior and it didn't fix the problem. This time it did.

There's all kinds of tiny bluetooth connection problems with my iPhone 5 now that I am subscribed to their beta updates. Most of the bluetooth stuff works, but things like my Panasonic Dect 6.0 phone Navdy in my car have connection issues.

At least for now, the email is pushing.

Thanks for the help everyone. I can always depend on this board for that.
