Alert on my iPhone, before the watch. Even though the iPhone is locked with the screen off.

Are we just waiting for a bug fix? It's quite annoying, it was working perfectly before.

Any fixes? I really don't want to have to unpair and repair the watch.
 
Try restarting both devices. I had a similar problem before and a restart fixed my problem.

Don't do the un-pairing. I had done that when I first noticed the issue and today it started again. But I went to Settings/Notifications on the phone and turned off Messages. Waited about 40 seconds. Turned it back on and tested. The Messages started coming to the watch normally.

So, where did you turn off messages? In the Watch App or in iPhone settings, please give a bit more detail.

Thanks!
 
On the phone. Settings/Notifications/Messages. Just toggle it off. Wait a minute and toggle it back on. That restored the proper function to my watch. Not the watch app. The main Settings for the phone.
