Greetings benr2595,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're curious if it's possible to receive text messages sent to your iPhone on both your Apple Watch and iPad.
If your Apple Watch is in range of your companion iPhone, or connected to a Wi-Fi network, then the messages will be received on your Apple Watch:
- Read messages on Apple Watch - Apple Support
- Use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby - Apple Support
Having Messages in iCloud enabled on your iPhone and iPad will keep your message history updated automatically between your devices. You can see that outlined in the following article: Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support
Kind regards.
