No iMessage sound when watch connected

Is this problem fixable? If my Apple Watch is connected to my phone I only receive text notification sounds on the watch and it is almost insignificant.

Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.  If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode. For more info, see:
