How can I get notifications on my phone AND watch? If I miss the notification on my watch, I might not see it on my phone until hours later.

I want to get a text notification on my phone while I have my Apple Watch on. Otherwise I might miss seeing the text. I just got my watch 2 days ago. Still learning.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

Notifications between the Apple Watch and iPhone sound depending on the status of the iPhone. See this support document. Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


However, you will not get notifications on both the iPhone and the Watch at the same time.
