i have the Galaxy Watch 5 Bluetooth version. I also have a Samsung Z Flip 4 phone.

When receiving phone calls I want my phone to ring as normal but just get a notification (vibration) of the call on my watch.

Currently the watch "rings" but the phone does not although I can see the notification on the phone screen.

I can't figure out what to do to make the phone ring and the watch vibrate. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

I have a question: Is your question related to Android Auto, or just the relationship between the phone and watch. The only reason I ask is this post showed up in the Android Auto section, and may not get much notice. We (the moderators) can move it to the correct location if need be.
 
So sorry. I meant it to be in the Watch 5 forum.

On the Galaxy Wear app on your phone, go to Watch Settings->Notifications->and see if you have the option enabled to "Mute notifications on your phone". If so, disable that as you will see the call on your phone but the ringtone will be muted.
