User level: Level 1 (5 points)Since upgrading to iPhone 18pro not all notificationas are going to my Apple watch. Text messages seem to work however mail notifications to not have sound or haptic. Also Ring alerts and other news alerts that I had received on watch when on 16pro are also not received. i've re-paired the watch twice

Since you’ve already re-paired twice, I’d check the notification settings rather than reset again.
On your iPhone, open Watch app -> My Watch -> Notifications and check Mail, Ring, and News. Make sure they’re set to Allow Notifications or Mirror my iPhone, not “Send to Notification Center.” Apple notes that this option won’t alert the Watch.
Also check Sounds & Haptics on the Watch and make sure Silent Mode/Focus isn’t preventing alerts.
