Can different ring tones on iPhone be mirrored on Apple watch ultra?

I have different ring tones on my iPhone for certain contacts. I recently purchased an Apple watch ultra but it doesn't mirror the iPhone in that respect.

Apple Watch Ultra, watchOS 9

Share ringtones from iPhone to Apple Watch Ultra I have spent years carefully curating my ringtones so that I don’t spend my entire days responding to scammers, solicitors, and jerks, and so that the few calls that I *do* want/need to receive each have a very special ringtone so I know in a split second who’s calling. How do I share these curated ringtones and associations with contacts from my iPhone to all of my watches, including the brand new ultra I just put on my wrist? Change the audio and notification settings on your Apple Watch - Apple Support seems to indicate that this is not possible, but I have seen thousands of other people who want the same thing so badly that they took the effort to come to the Internet looking for a solution. Shirley, Apple isn’t going to capriciously deny us something that is this high in demand! 🙄 So I’m hoping that someone knows where this is implemented, or if it’s implemented in a beta woperating system, or if there is a kludge to make it Just Work®️. Having the same sound for every interruption is a nonstarter—doing that makes this technology worse than not having it at all.

How do I get custom text tones on watch, like on my phone? And how do I still get those notifications on phone while wearing watch? Finally bought my first Apple Watch! I like it, but I hate that I don’t know who’s messaging me when I get a text message notification. With the iPhone, I set up ppl with custom text tones so I know who’s texting me when I hear the notification. Now, whenever I’m wearing the watch, my iPhone doesn’t notify me with a tone anymore. How can I turn on text notifications for both watch and phone, since it looks like I can’t customize text tones on the watch? (I like that when someone’s calling me, both the watch and my iPhone rings…how do I do that with text messaging)

That is not an option.
