Mail notification WatchOS 5

Since upgrading my iPhone X to iOS 12 and my watch series 2 to WatchOS 5 I am not getting email notifications on my watch. It appears VIP email notifications work. I've tried everything I can think of.

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 5, iPhone X - iOS 12

So, it looks to me like this is more an issue with iOS 12 changing a default behavior on the phone, and then the watch mirroring the phone. I went into the settings on the phone and the sound settings were changed to no vibration for new mail. I changed it back to a vibration and now the watch works fine. What ticks me off is that Apple's support reps don't know this and had me wipe my phone.
