Ever since OS7 came out, my watch won't ring when I get phone calls on my iPhone. I've removed the watch and re-add it and it works for a short period and then stops. Since I keep my watch on vibrate most of the time, I've missed so many calls lately due to my watch not working. Anyone else has the issue or know of a fix?

Are you using CarPlay? I can fix the issue by turning both the phone and the watch off and restarting, but then it comes back after I get in my car and use CarPlay! Very annoying.
 
Appears the latest update fixed my issue, 14.2.1, 12 Pro Max, Apple Watch 4.

Welp, in a matter of 24 hrs mine has gone back to not working. I was in and out of my car numerous times yesterday and it worked after getting out without doing anything.

Not today.

Interestingly enough, for me in the past week its gone from never working unless I restart, to sporadic
 
It's only phone calls as well. Texts, emails, whatever I have synced to show up on my watch works fine. It's just phones calls. Really frustrating.

Any one have an update on this? It's still happening for me. I get notified on some calls and miss others. Which kind of makes it even worse. Only fix for me is having my ringer on. Which I don't like doing.

Interesting. I was in my car (wireless carplay) and missed 4 imessages on my watch. So something is buggy with that now.

That's how it's always been. When in the car, all alerts go through the head unit, not on your watch.
