I’m getting repeated issues of not getting notifications when I’m in the kitchen and the phone is in ther living room. Also get the same if I walk out onto the drive - I will miss the notification from the nest doorbell every time!!!. I think it has to do with Bluetooth range and the notification arriving before the watch has switched to WiFi or cellular. I think it tries to hold onto Bluetooth for too long......

Throughout the day, I can check my phone to see several notifications have arrived that I have not been aware of - ie have not arrived on the watch. Why does the watch not check for missed notifications when in range / connected to phone and display them? Is there an app that can do this? I also have a garmin, and at least with this, it will alway display missed notifications when re-connected.

Am I the only one with this issue?
 
Maybe it is Bluetooth fringes but I also missed an important text when hanging out with the neighbor in his backyard one day. I had my watch on and left phone at home and was waiting for the text. I never got it. When I got back home, the text was sitting there on my phone.
