Apple Watch workout do not disturb

hello. This has happened to me on multiple occasions. I am On a walk and I have workout do not disturb off. Someone try’s to call me and my phone is the only thing that goes off. I have my earbuds in and it doesn’t ring through them and my watch doesn’t go off. It also happens when I’m riding my bike. Texts go through just fine but phone calls seem to be the things that get affected the most.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
