If you're only receiving notifications on your Apple Watch and not on your iPhone, it's likely due to the Notification Settings or Do Not Disturb mode being activated on your iPhone. To fix this, go to the Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, then Notifications, and adjust the settings to ensure notifications are mirrored on your iPhone. Also, check that Do Not Disturb is not enabled on your iPhone, as this would prevent notifications from appearing there.
