When your watch is linked with Huawei Health and message notifications are enabled, new messages pushed to your phone's status bar will be synced to your watch.
Enabling message notifications

- In the app list below, turn on the switches for the apps that you wish to receive notifications from.
On the Notifications screen, the APPS section shows the apps for which push notifications are available.
Viewing unread messages
When being worn, your watch will vibrate to notify you of new messages pushed from the status bar of your phone.
Unread messages will be kept on your watch. To view them, swipe up on the watch home screen to enter the message center.
Automatic screen-on for incoming messages (when the device is worn) is available only on certain watch/band models. To check if your device supports the feature, go to and toggle on Wake screen if it's available. If you can't find such a switch, you can view messages by raising your wrist or pressing the button to wake the screen.
