iPhone won't ring or vibrate when Apple Watch is connected
As discussed here: IPhone won’t ring while using apple watch - Apple Community
my iPhone will not output any sound or vibration when receiving any notices or calls when the Apple Watch is connected, but not being worn.
Example: I work from home. My iPhone is with me in my office on the desk on the charger. My Apple Watch is upstairs on the charger on my nightstand, connected to my iPhone, but locked. Sitting down here in my office I consistently miss calls and notifications. I've tried everything to the point where I'm going to throw the watch out if I can't get this sorted. THERE MUST BE a way to have your phone act normal when the watch isn't being worn but connected to the phone.
