Want phone to ring when not wearing my watch.

While wearing my watch I have it set to vibrate when I get a call. Unfortunately when I take my watch off I have no way to know I’m getting a call. Is it possible to make the phone ring when not wearing the watch without having to go to settings every time?

Incoming phone calls should work like notifications. 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:
