Hi, Here’s my experience in the same scenario as you:
• haptic notification felt on my wrist. • tap screen or press digital crown to wake the watch. • swipe left or right to have notification read. • take longer than about 10 seconds to check notification on the watch, I’ll need to either double-tap on the notification indicator, or swipe up/down to hear notifications, then double-tap. • this will bring up all unread notifications. • Swipe left/right to hear the summary of the notification. • double-tap on the summary to get more details. • swipe up/down to clear then double-tap to clear if desired. HTH. Note that if you’re paying close enough attention, the haptic feedback is different depending on the notification. Messages are two haptic blips fairly close together. Calendar notifications are two haptic blips, but they are softer and further apart. Most other notifications are a longer single vibration such as a notification from Door Dash etc. HTH.
