I cant seem to get my watch to vibrate and my phone to play my notification sound for messages/txts. Can this be done? My watch vibrates but the phone doesn’t make a noise

Be aware that notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked. That said, see the 'Customize your Apple Watch notification settings' section in:
