Apple watch 6

I have been missing texts from regular contacts since I synced a new Apple watch 6. It silences alert tones on my phone and isn't loud enough on the watch. Help?

Texts coming from ios 12.5.4 to ios 14.5.1 only give a numerical notification. No sound, vibration or banner Texts coming from an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 12.5.4 to my iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 14.5.1 paired with an Apple Watch 6 running iOS 7.5 only show a numerical notification - no sound, vibration or banner on either the iPhone or the watch. Texts coming from newer devices always alert with sound, vibration and banner on either the iPhone or the watch depending on if the iPhone is asleep. I’ve reset Contacts in the My Watch app, confirmed Sound & Haptics are on, volume is up, rebooted both devices - no luck. The only difference between the contacts that generate alerts and the one contact who doesn’t is that the others have moved on to newer phones and operating systems. Could his older iOS be the problem?

Texts on ultra series 8 watch my watch is paired to my phone, airplane and don’t disturb is off. Every time my phone rings my watch rings. Every time I get a text on my phone I get a text on my watch but I don’t always get a notification that I received a text. Any idea why?? I can’t pin point the issue of of sometimes getting the notification and sometimes not. Appreciate any help.

For the record just got off chat with Apple Support. They have me deleting my watch then repairing. I have maxed out the alert volume and haptics settings already. I'll re do all that when pairing is complete. The watch will be a waste of money if I can't hear alerts tones . Thanks for the response. Much appreciated
