Your watch is doing as it's supposed to do. When you wear your watch and the phone screen is locked, notifications go to your watch. If your iPhone is open (screen active), notifications will go to your iPhone.

I almost posted that response but the question seems to be back-to-front.

The author said "How can i change the notifications to show on my phone screen instead of my apple watch when i’m using my phone?' which is the direct opposite.

I wonder what happens to notifications when speaking on the phone? (I don't know!)
