Notification's not always coming through on watch, pretty upset. I should not be having issues with something that cost a pretty penny.

It's nice to have a new member around @Amorrison27! Notifications skip or stop occasionally for several reasons that don't suggest a problem with your device or the Fitbit app.
- Your phone was too far away. It must be within 30 feet of your Fitbit device to transmit the notification.
For texts, you have the conversation open on your phone. Your Fitbit device shows new texts you haven't already read.
You changed a related setting on your phone, such as turning on Do Not Disturb, Quiet hours, or Driving mode. - You're using another Bluetooth product. If you have Bluetooth products like speakers, headsets, or car stereos paired to your phone along with your Fitbit device, you may have trouble using more than one at the same time.
- The connection between your phone and Fitbit device is unstable. Bluetooth signals are susceptible to disconnecting or dropping occasionally. If you have an Android phone, check the following:
- Make sure Enable Notification Widget is on. You can find this with the other notification settings in the Fitbit app.
- Make sure Always Connected is on. This improves your Bluetooth connection but also drains your Fitbit device's battery more quickly. Turn it off and on as you prefer.
- The app that should send the notification can't do so.
- Your device was syncing. Syncing can sometimes prevent or delay a notification.
- You just updated the Fitbit app. Restart your phone and try setting up notifications again.
If you've reviewed the list above and can't get notifications to work, force quit the Fitbit app and reopen it to sync your Fitbit device.
Notifications should work as expected after your device syncs. If they don't, continue with the following steps:
- From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Account icon > your device image.
- Tap Notifications.
- Turn off all notifications
- Turn off Bluetooth on your phone.
- Restart your phone.
- Restart your Ionic.
- Open the Fitbit app and turn notifications back on.
- Sync your phone
If after following these steps they still don't work, let move on with the following:
- Tell your phone to "forget" your device, removing the connection between the phone and the Fitbit device.
- On your phone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and find your Fitbit device in the list.
- Find an option to forget the device.
- Open the Fitbit app and set up notifications again.
I'll be around, keep me posted!
