Yes, that’s because it was designed to work that way. When you are wearing an Watch with Wrist Detection enabled and the iPhone is locked then all notifications (except for the phone ringtone) sound on the watch instead of the iPhone. If the iPhone is unlocked then notifications will sound on it.

Lawrence Finch is correct. You might want to read about notifications when wearing Apple Watch here in this link --> Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Note the statement at the top of the article about where notifications are sent.
How do I get my iPhone to play notification sounds while wearing Apple Watch?
