Do not get text sound when wearing watch and have phone

When I am at home, wearing my Apple Watch and carrying my iPhone, I do not get a sound when I receive a text. But, when I am away from home I do get the notice.

Apple, this is NOT a feature but a major annoyance - I need an audible notification on my cellphone always, unless I turn the phone on silent. Please reconsider.
