New to Apple, have been using Android for years, currently have iPhone 16 & watch is SE, is there anyway that I can receive a notification sound for both at same time, currently only my watch sounds when I get a message but even with the watch volume up it’s still really low and doesn’t vibrate on my wrist, is vibrate an option

iPhone 16
And just because you are new to the Apple Watch
Things I do with my GPS Only Series 10 Apple Watch: • It tells time, date, day of the week • Every iPhone alarm, appears on my wrist, where you can acknowledge it, dismiss it, etc… • I like the iPhone 3rd party “Alarmed” app (http://yoctoville.com), for my alarms • Ring.com door bell can display a static image on the Apple Watch • Weather (this gets used a lot) • MyRadar 3rd party app will display radar image and send weather alerts • Rain Alarm 3rd party app will display a moving radar image • Make/Receive phone calls • Make/Receive FaceTime audio calls • Use Walkie-Talkie to other Apple Watches anywhere on the planet • Silence phone ringing by pressing the digital crown (great for SPAM calls) • Send & receive iMessages • Send & receive SMS TEXT • Say “Hey Siri, 14 and a half minute timer” • Say “Hey Siri, remind me when I get home to do xyz” • Say “Hey Siri, message my wife/husband/Susan/George/etc…” • Say “Hey Siri, start Outdoor Walk” • Say “Hey Siri, end workout” • Say "Hey Siri, find my iPhone" • Say "Hey Siri, flashlight" • Use a 3rd party garage door opener app and device (such as MyQ) • You can check your calendar • Read your email • If you need to take an iPhone picture where you cannot see the screen, use Apple Watch Camera app as a view finder/shutter release • Built-in Tides app, or you can get a 3rd party Ocean's Tide app for beach visits • Hand washing reminder and timer • Unlock your Mac (I do this several times a day) • Unlock your iPhone when you are wearing a mask • Track your exercise and physical activities Since my Wife got her Apple Watch, we have been able to reliably iMessage each other, as she never keeps here iPhone on her person. If my Apple Watch was lost, stolen, or broken, I would order a replacement as fast as possible, as I would miss it so much.

Notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked. For more info, see:
Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
You are not the only person that has desired BOTH the iPhone and the Apple Watch sounds alerts.
Apple does not read this user-to-user technical support forum for feedback.
But you can send Apple feedback via:
If enough users send feedback, it is more likely a decision maker will see it, and maybe take action.
How do I enable simultaneous notification sounds and vibration for iPhone 16 and Apple Watch SE?
