Notifications are disappearing before I read them

Hello,

This question may have already been asked and answered, but I didn't have luck in searching for a similar question. I've had my Fitbit Inspire HR for a day and am a little frustrated with the notifications. This afternoon my Fitbit buzzed telling me I had a message. I didn't get to look at it right away and a couple of minutes later when I tried, it was gone. Is there a way to see unread messages without having to check your phone? Or for them to stay on your screen until you manually close them? One of the main reasons I bought this watch was because I didn't want to have my phone by me all the time to see my messages. If I have to go on my phone to check messages, then there is no point to having this watch. 
If this isn't an option, can you give me a recommendation of a Fitbit that has this feature but would be the size of an Inspire HR. I have a very small wrist and don't want something bulky.

Thank you!

Hi @SunsetRunner It is ages since I used my Inspire HR for notifications, but you are correct.  The tracker doesnt remember a notification. You have to look immediately or it is gone. If you want to look later you need a smarter tracker - for example one of the Versa's.  I use the Versa 2 and that holds the messages until you dismiss them. I have a tiny wrist, and though it is certainly bigger than the Inspire, I find it very comfortable to wear and it doesnt seem TOO big.

For me, it's about respect. I'm talking with someone and buzz. I'm NOT going to look at my watch immediately, that's just rude. But 10 sec later, I would like to be able to see at least the last notification. Please find a way to hold the last msg until checked, or maybe for some period if time (an hour? 10 min?)
