This can be frustrating, but luckily thee are some steps you can take to try and fix this issue.

The first thing you shuld do is restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch. Sometimes this is all it takes for the two devices to sync up properly. If that doesn’t work, try disabling iMessage, then having an Android user send an SMS to you. This will ensure that the message isn’t being sent via iMessage and is correctly registered by both devices.

If the problem persists after trying the above steps, disable and re-enable “Mirror my iPhone” on your Apple Watch app. This setting allows notifications from your iPhone to apear on your watch, so if it’s disabled it won’t show up properly.

To do this open Notification Center by touching and holding the top of the watch face then turn the Digital Crown or swipe down on the watch face until you get to the top. Once there tap Clear All and any unread messages should disappear from view.
