Not getting iMessage notifications on Apple Watch

Hi,


I recently purchased an iPhone 15 Pro and Apple Watch. I don't like my devices making noisy pinging sounds all day, so I put my iPhone and watch into silent and left them there. The haptic notifications were working great across the board even on silent, I'd get haptic notifications on my watch for incoming iMessages for my phone number, it was great.


A couple of days ago, however, I stopped getting notifications on my watch. I've since tried putting my watch onto custom notifications instead of mirroring iphone. and setting everything notification related to on, but still nothing. If I manually check messages on the apple watch, I can see that new messages are visible there, they just don't notify me.


The timing that this stopped working roughly correlates with using the messages app on my Macbook Pro for the first time to respond to a message. Once I noticed that all notifications to my watch had stopped, I turned off notifications on the mac, enabled the iCloud sync feature and make sure that the messages app is never open, but it doesn't seem to help.


Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this situation.
