I get a text and only the watch makes noise. My ip7+ makes no sound at all. How do I get my watch and phone to make sounds at the same time?

That is not how it was designed to work. If your iPhone is locked or asleep then the alerts will be sent to the  watch. If the iPhone is unlocked and the screen active then the alerts will sound on it instead of the  watch. Of course ringtones will sound on both by default. For more information, read the info found via the following link.

Thanks! That so sucks cuz I sometimes can't hear the watch. But at least I know it's not me.

Can you feel the  watch vibrating when you receive an alert? Anyway, via the watch app on your iPhone, peruse the notification settings and experiment a bit to see if you can make the experience better, if you haven't already.
