Are you using 3rd party apps for messaging, or only iMessage?

3rd party message apps have to support notifications on the watch, if you enabled custom settings for those apps.

As explained in the article above, Notifications only appear on your active device.

If you want Apple to change that feature, let them know by using the Feedback link. This is the only way to reach them directly.
