If this is ‘standard behavior’, this is also sad because I feel that with my Apple Watch (that I received as a Xmas gift) I have taken a step backwards .. I pride myself in responding promptly to texts ... not anymore.. since the sound that I have chosen on my iPhone does not sound announcing a new text, combined with the very low sound from watch, I fail to know that I have received a text until I look at watch or phone .. sad .. whose clever (?) idea was that?!
Sorry for the rant... and if it mattered, to answer your question, I would MUCH rather have the text announcement sound coming from my phone.
once again I would like tI apologize for my tone here ... I really do appreciate the time and information you have provided.
thank you

See this for an explanation on how Notifications work with the Apple Watch. Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
muskiepike,
What you described is standard behavior.
Are you saying that you want the notification sound to play on the watch and on the phone?
