Hello JanJAnd!


According to Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support, If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. And if your iPhone is locked or asleep, you get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
