Apple Watch notifications are inconsistent

I have an Apple Watch SE. I've noticed that more often than not, I don't get text message notifications on my watch. I've checked my settings including the haptics and there are no issues there. I did not have this issue with my Series 1.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8

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. f your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode.
