Hi! I understand your watch is connected but it’s not showing notifications that you receive on your phone. To help you better, do you have an Apple Watch paired with an iPhone, or is it a different type of watch connected to your Android device? Also, is the issue that no notifications appear on the watch at all, or only for specific apps like the Health app?

Assuming it’s an Apple Watch connected to an iPhone and notifications are not showing correctly, here’s a common step-by-step approach you can try:

1. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app.
2. Tap the “My Watch” tab at the bottom.
3. Tap on “Notifications.”
4. Scroll through the list of installed apps, and make sure notifications are enabled (turned on) for the apps you want to receive notifications from.
5. For individual apps, you may also choose “Mirror my iPhone” which means the watch will follow the same notification settings as your phone.
6. Also, check that Wrist Detection is enabled on your Apple Watch settings as it helps alert you properly when wearing the watch.
7. Ensure both your iPhone and Apple Watch are updated to the latest software versions.

If you’ve already checked these or this doesn’t quite match your setup, please let me know what type of watch and phone you have, and what steps you’ve tried so far. That way, I can guide you more specifically.

Are you comfortable trying these steps? Let me know how it goes!

Here is a helpful Apple support page for notifications where you can review detailed instructions.
