Did you check, that on your iPhone in Settings -> Notifications -> Forwarding -> Forward To -> Your Apple Watch -> Notifications Forwarding -> Forward From -> Messages is enabled?
Also check that in the Watch App on the iPhone -> Notifications -> Messages -> is either set to Mirror My iPhone, or Custom -> Allow Notifications
