No notification alert on phone when wearing watch

I recently brought an Apple Watch and have realised that you can’t get a sound notification on BOTH your phone and your watch and it’s driving me mad! I know you can turn off wrist detection but you then lose out on so many features.


Does anyone know if apple are going to sort this anytime soon please? It’s such an awful decision on their part to not give users the choice!!

As you know, notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.

It really doesn't matter if wrist detection is on or off.
