Notifications are silent on the iPhone11 (ios 14.6) when Apple Watch 5 is connected and iphone locked

I have tried all suggestions, but still cannot get msg alerts on the iPhone if the watch is connected. Every setting change seems to do nothing. If i turn off bluetooth the notifications start to function fine on the phone.

iPhone 11

Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.  If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode. For more info, see:
