Anyone else have issues with not all notifications coming through?

I had my phone on charge while watching TV, emails and messages where coming through to the watch. At the end of the show picked my phone up and I had a missed call from my dad and some whatsapp messages. None of them came through to the watch but the other stuff did. Weird. I do get calls and whatsapps at other times so it seems random.

Any ideas?

Restart the phone and the watch.

This. I try to restart both once a week. Otherwise I notice weird little issues every now and then...like Siri telling me she can't schedule an appointment or a reminder.

I would also make sure your iphone is locked and the display is off while charging. Sometimes a music or video app will keep the iphone from locking. I sometimes charge mine on a speaker dock, which sometimes launches my music app. If it thinks you are using it then notifications won't forward. Since I got some notifications but not others, my money is on the restart.
