When I turn on DND on my Watch, it mirrors to my iPhone. When I turn it off, all my missed texts and calls do not show up on my Watch as notifications. Why is that? It's super annoying.

Do they show up on the watch? That's where I'd expect them.
 
It appears that the Apple Watch doesn't play catch up. Any notifications sent while the watch is set to Do Not Disturb will not roll through afterword.

I don't like that. When I woke up from my nap today the first place I looked to turn off Do Not Disturb and check all my missed notifications was my Watch. Not my iPhone. It actually felt very unnatural to me that they weren't there. This should be changed.
 
Based on what you said I'm going to turn off my automatic DND at night-time (and never use DND at all). Instead it might be better to ALWAYS keep my phone's ring/silent switch on silent (with volume still up for the alarm to ring loud). Also, I turned vibrate totally off on the phone. I have the watch always on silent. This way I totally depend on the watch's haptic feedback for notifications.

At least this way the notifications should always be received on the watch. Added benefit of never having to adjust settings on the watch or phone for meetings, etc.

Sorry?
 

Don't let it happen again.

That makes a lot of sense actually. I might switch over to this method.
