Text on phone and watch

Is there any way for me to get a notification on both my phone and watch? When I get phone calls they both go off which is nice, but I’m missing a bunch of text messages because either my phone doesn’t ding or the watch may be too quiet or sometimes doesn’t event alert me. If they both go off I’d be much happier about that.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 7

iPhone Text Apple Watch Notification Conundrum So there has been this issue, and it’s hard to really find due to the ambiguity of the annoying feature. However, when you have an Apple Watch paired to your iPhone and the iPhone is locked, by design the iPhone won’t notify you of a received text just your watch. There is no setting to adjust this, and it has recently been causing me to miss messages. I’ll use this as the example, at work I will charge my watch in my office and have my phone in my pocket. No matter if it is on vibrate or loud I won’t receive a notification to my phone for a text due to my watch being paired and charging. This is a huge issue, and I love my watch phone pairing, but this has to have an update to allow it to go to both. Phone calls have no issues, so why is there an issue with the messages notifying my phone and watch?
