Hi Traci and John,

What's always happened for me is that either I'm alerted by the watch or the 
phone of a notification. If I'm notified on the phone, the sound plays. If I'm 
notified on the watch, there's a vibration and, if sounds are on, there's a 
sound. I don't know of any way to get alerted to a notification in both places.

Best,
Anna
