Hello Lois, Thank you for testing this.
However, I wonder if the message you received was an iMessage or a standard SMS text message. I checked with a buddy of mine who informed me that, as of the latest commercial release of Watch OS, there is some inconsistencies with notifications. His solution was to hard reset the device after making the desired settings in the Watch app. Also, I think Simon's suggestion about logging into Apple watch with a different Apple ID is a brilliant one that totally makes sense to me; I never would have thought of that. I'll give it a try.

The next text that came in with my phone locked did not come to my watch. Apparently, you don't have to do anything with the messages app on your phone.

I have that particular settings switched to Custom whereupon I subsequently disabled all alerts. However, I continue to receive text messages. Perhaps you could change your setting, thustly, to confirm my finding?

One is mirror my IPhone, and the other is custom. I have mine set to the first and haven't tried custom, but I have a feeling that might fix that particular problem.

Taylor Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2017 2:23 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Mark's New Apple Watch with One Big Question Hello Everyone, I just got a new Apple Watch, today. So far, so good. I successfully updated the software and began experimenting with the various aspects of the device. I have one luming question: I absolutely do not want any iMessages being pushed to the watch. How can I stop this from happening. Just so you know, I went into the watch app, on iPhone, and disabled Message notifications but, still, every time I wake the device, I see the new message I received on iPHone. Oh, one more thing, is there a way to prevent the device from syncing info from iPhone? I expect to use this device more like a watch and a fitness tracker than a communications tool. I do not expect to lookup contacts, calendar appointments, etc, at this time. All replies welcome and thank you.
