Text alert not working on iPhone 12 Pro

My Iphone 12 pro has quit notifying me when I get a text. I've gone through settings, sounds, etc and turned the ringer up. Still nothing. Ideas?

Yes, apple watch is new. How do I fix?

You don't fix it, because it's NOT broken. Your iPhone and Apple Watch are doing exactly what they were designed to do. If your iPhone screen is active, notifications will be delivered to your phone. If your iPhone screen is not active, notifications will be delivered to your watch. They will not be delivered to both at the same time and this by design.
