So my new pixel watch is alerting me to text messages. My phone is not. If I turn the watch off my phone then alerts me to text messages. Anyone know how to fix this?
Go into the notification settings in the Pixel Watch app on your phone.
Under General you have different possibilities:
Watch muted and phone notification
Watch notification and phone muted
Notification on both
Sounds like you have an option to only notify on watch when connected or in use. What Dan said is likely the reason.

Incoming call notification is not showing on the watch if there is a contact photo, nor does the watch vibrate.
The second time, if the call comes from the same caller, the notification will show. But this is really annoying as i always keep my phone in silent mode and rely on the watch to alert me for incoming calls.
Looks like the watch ignores the notification if the contact photo is not transferred ontime to the watch by bluetooth.. The second time, the call shows up as the contact photo is already cached.. that's my analysis..
Just wanted to check if this problem is with anyone else or just me.. please say if it is...
Yes, sometimes it does that

Same problem even without photos
I am having the same problem. However, my watch is not showing the call notification regardless of whether there is a contact photo or not. It seems to be just random --- mostly not showing the notification.
i have moto 360 sports and i am using it with iphone i had exact same issue after playing around with the watch i found the fix. go to setting-->permission-->system permission-->device management---> enable the phone icon. also if you are using i phone your android wear app must be running in background all the time otherwise watch wont connect. which is big con
Newbie here again... My Asus Zen watch works great. I do get email and text messages on watch..but it doesn"t vibrate to alert me. Periodically I have to check manually. Any ideas what isnt set correctly? When I get a phone call it does vibrate...
your watch settings mirror the phone settings. if the notification doesn't vibrate on your phone it won't on the watch either. the vibration has to be the app's settings too, if you use a third party app like lightflow to add a vibration when the app doesn't offer one it doesn't translate to the watch
Hi, quick question. If I set a WA group notification to be muted on my phone, is it normal to have my Watch still vibrates when I receive any text from that group? I remember my Gear Fit 2 acted the opposite.
I have the same problem lately but without watch connected at all I think it is Whatsapp problem
The watch still vibrates, although I have set muted i groups in whatsapp. It is quite annoying when you have hundreds of messages every day. It cancels all notifications, if I disable notification in watch or in application for whatsapp and I don't want this behavior.
It is any way to differentiate notifications for normal messages and muted groups? or another external application who does that?
Thank you
I've had to turn off notifications for emails on my original model Watch because the notification sound from the watch is too loud in meetings. But then I lose the email header on the watch that tells me who sent the message. Can anyone advise me please:
1. Is there a way to turn down the notification sound without changing any other sounds on the Watch?
or
2. Is there a setting that will turn off the notification sound but still allow the email header to show?
Thanks for any advice!
