Missing message notifications on watch

When I get a message, I don't get any notification on my watch.

The notification is on the phone lock screen but it doesn't make any sound as it should appear on the watch.

My watch is set to mirror message notifications from the phone
I also tried unsetting the mirroring and set the various bits manually
Of course, the watch is unlocked and the phone locked
I have an iPhone X and a Watch series 2 (both updated to the latest versions, iOS 11.1.1 and watchOS 4.1)
This affects both text messages and iMessage
Other things, like emails, are not affected
I rebooted both phone and watch
I tried disabling the cover to mute setting like somebody suggested on another thread on this forum

Despite all of this, I keep not getting message notifications on the watch.

Any idea on how to solve this?
