Are you talking about traditional SMS/MMS TEXTing? Or iMessage messages?


From the footnotes in the following website:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205547

1. To receive SMS, MMS, or push notifications from third-party apps on your cellular Apple Watch, your paired iPhone must be powered on and connected to Wi-Fi or cellular, but it doesn't need to be nearby. You also need to be signed in to iMessage on your iPhone.


Does that help?
