I have always received text notifications on both my phone and watch. Now if my phone is locked it no longer alerts me on phone if it is connected to my watch through bluetooth. I need to get it on both. If I disconnect the bluetooth I get it on both. However, if I do that when I get a phone call and I cover my watch it does not mute my phone which is very inconvenient. Why is this just starting for me when I have used a watch for over 3 years?
Where you’ll see your notifications
Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. Learn when a notification might appear on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch, below.
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.
Some apps, such as the Noise app, are only on your Apple Watch. Notifications for these apps don't appear on your iPhone.
The red notification icon 
appears on your watch face when you get a notification. When you dismiss notifications on your Apple Watch, they’re also dismissed from your iPhone.

Have a great day!
That has never been the case. For the last 3 years I have received them on both. What is the logic behind this? I can understand if it is an option. However, this is a horrible design creating multiple issues. Is there a way to change this?
