I just received the Apple Watch Sport over the weekend so fairly new to all of this. I couldn't find anything online that resembled the "issue" I am having. So I ask, is this normal behavior?
If my watch is on my wrist, the phone is locked, and I receive a notification (doesn't matter if it's a text, Facebook, Twitter ect), both of my devices receive the notification. However, the watch will light up and vibrate/alert but the phone does not. So essentially, I get a text, but the phone does not "screen wake" like it normally would. If I press the home button, I can see the text on the lock screen but the only audible/vibrate alert I get is through the watch.
I figured that the watch AND the phone would "screen wake" and issue an alert.
Now if the watch is not on my wrist, both devices receive the alert but my phone returns to normal "screen wake and alert" behavior.
Sometimes I don't feel/see my watch when a notification comes in so a secondary cue from the phone would be nice.
I will add that on phone calls however, the phone and the watch ring and both screens display caller information. Seems this issue desribed is only with notifications.
