Custom focus mode not silencing notifications on apple watch

I just got my new Apple Watch SE yesterday. Today I turned on my custom focus mode that I have been using on my iPhone for several months with no problems. The focus mode is called weekend and it silences notifications from outlook and teams. Today when I turned on the weekend focus mode on my apple watch, outlook and teams notifications still come through. The Apple Watch shows that the focus mode is on. I have tried turning it off and on again and it has not helped.

Hi Sprout_RKMDB,

For help with ensuring the focus is shared on your new Apple Watch, test the steps below from your paired iPhone. The information can also be found in the article here: Set up a Focus on iPhone - Apple Support

"Keep your Focus settings up to date across all your Apple devices

You can use the same Focus settings on all your Apple devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.

Go to Settings > Focus, then turn on Share Across Devices.

Note: Focus filters don’t get synced across devices—they’re only on the device where you set them up."

You can also find helpful information here: Use Focus on Apple Watch

Cheers.
