Apple Watch haptics and sound stopped working after iOS 26 update

Since updating, my Apple Watch no longer vibrates or makes any sound. It doesn’t ring for alarms or timers, even though I have the breakthrough silence mode enabled. And it no longer vibrates or shows notifications at all without me having to check myself.

Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 26
