Apple Watch disconnection notification on both iPhone and Apple Watch

My phone and Apple Watch are connected. If I forget one of them, how can I get a notification on either device? Either if I forget my phone, I get a notification on my watch, and if I forget my watch, I get a notification on my phone.

Apple Watch Notifications with iPhone unlocked Would be great to have the option to make Apple Watch notifications persistent, notifying on the Watch when the iPhone is unlocked. Many use cases, including using the iPhone for navigation.

Notify when left behind - Apple Watch Hello, I recently switched over to an Apple Watch Ultra and configured it to notify me using "Notify when left behind" when I failed to take my iPhone (13) with me. I noticed this wasn't currently working so I went back in an tried to reapply the setting but now my iPhone won't let me configure my watch to be the notifying device. Instead it's set to alert me via my other (work) iPhone - which doesn't do me much good because I rarely am carrying the two at the same time. Is there a way to set the notifying device on "Notify when left behind" to be my watch vs. my other iPhone? Thanks, Chris

iPhone and Apple Watch Notifications So when I wear my Apple Watch, I don't get notifications on my phone, unless I turn off notifications on my watch. So I have to give up one or the other. I've been trying to figure out why I don't wear my Apple Watch very often and this pretty much sums up the reason. I need notifications on both or it simply is a show stopper.

When I go to work, I forget to take something. Either I forget to take my phone or I forget to take my watch. It would be helpful if I got a notification in between.
