Message notifications on iPhone and Apple Watch

[Newtons Apple]

Yesterday my watch for a few hours got no notifications what so ever. The phone was also silent. Toggled to on off on the watch notification app, did a reset, rebooted both phone and watch and nothing would bring back the watch notifications. Then, without warning, it started up again. Not instilling a lot of confidence as even the red dot was missing when I had multiple messages and emails on my phone.

Still having trouble feeling the haptic tap when i am up and moving around and unless I am in a quiet room the little "ding" is not heard. Leaves me disappointed, again, in Apple notification system.

It's definitely a bug (but not sure what circumstances cause it to come about). Hopefully the next watch OS update will fix it.

In the meantime, leave feedback to Apple. The more feedback they get the more aware they will be of issues. You can leave feedback/report problems here https://www.apple.com/feedback/watch.html

This happened to me today also . I called  care and they also had me unpair and set up the watch again .

This morning as I had no carrier coverage ,I had done a hard reset . Actually , that is the problem ! If you do a hard reset , notifications will go to your phone first . A normal reset ( just turn the phone off and back on ) will not cause that issue .

I tried both afterwards to make sure and sure enough ! It was a headache resetting my watch twice but at least now I know ;-)))

I hope this will help others .

This is exactly what I'm having. It's so annoying and nothing fixes it.

Try toggleing notifications on your iPhone off and then back on again. That fixed the problem for me, and it has not reoccured since.

Just did. Looks like it's working for now. Thanks.

My problem was that when using the iPhone I got no notifications at all. No notification from the phone, and no haptic or sound from the watch. Rebooting the iPhone cured it.
