Training video for iWatch notifications

Wearing my iWatch blocks text message notifications. I have read this is by design. All the other notifications may also be getting blocked.

Is there a training video on this? Because the notifications section of the watch app is several pages long and does not explain how do not disturb or focus changes all of this.


I have tossed my watch in a bin as I have upset too many customers due to missed text messages. This issue outweighs all the watches benefits.

Maybe it is too late but message notifications will be...

  • On the Watch if iphone is locked
  • On the iPhone if the iphone is open
  • Always on the iphone if you set Watch message notifications to custom and turn them off
