So, I noticed recently that I wasn't getting email notifications on my watch. The phone would beep or vibrate each time.

It began happening before yesterday's release but I apparently didn't notice until after upgrading to Beta 5.

I found a workaround by not mirroring my email notifications to the phone and instead setting them custom on the watch.

My question is, is this a bug I should report on iOS10? I'm guessing no, since the watch isn't on 3.

Thoughts?

I had the same issue, I ended up rebooting my watch and it's some what fix it. My watch gets the notification but my phone also plays a sound too. Before the phone would not make a sound if the watch is attached to my wrist.
 
I had the issue too, since installing beta 5 on my iPhone 6 plus.

My watch was running watchOS 3 beta 4 (so two versions behind the latest). I'm trying to update it to watchOS3 beta 6 at the moment, but it's been 'acting weird', showing errors that the watch & phone must be connected to WiFi (though they both are) etc.

The watch seems to be updating now (finally) after many reboots etc. so fingers crossed
 
I'm running DP 6 on my 6s and 2.2.2 on my Apple Watch. After updating my 6s to iOS 10, I unpaired and repaired my watch. Thus far I haven't noticed any abnormalities with notifications. I hope it remains this way!

Got it - thanks. I did just that after running into the issues I described. The mail issue persists if I leave the notification setting to mirror to phone. Only after customizing it did notifications start working again. Other notifications seem ok at moment.

My apologies, I just realized that my mail notifications are set to custom too, but intentionally. I didn't like my watch mirroring my phone, so maybe it is a bug. I just wouldn't notice it. At least you have a workaround to get some of your notifications. Hopefully 10B7 or 3.0 will solve the issue for you!
