Apple Watch not receiving iMessage notifications after new MacBook setup

Hey everyone, I've seen a lot of conversations about this but not this specifically, and so this is what was going on with my apple watch: I got a new MacBook, and set it up using my apple ID. After a few days I noticed that I wasn't getting a ping on my apple watch when I got an iMessage notification. This was really annoying me because it was causing me to respond late to important text messages, especially because I don't carry my iPhone everywhere with me. So, to get these text messages, you have to(on your mac) go to settings>notifications>messages and toggle off the "allow notifications" button. After you have done that, the apple watch will start receiving notifications on your watch again instead of losing both the sound and haptic. Let me know if this works and if not what works for you guys!
