If your Messages are not notifying you on your watch, ensure that Do Not Disturb is off, and check that your iPhone is locked or in sleep mode, as notifications may only appear on one device at a time. Also, verify in the Watch app settings that notifications for Messages are enabled. If issues persist, consider restarting both devices and ensure they're both updated to the latest software version.
