I have a Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel 8. They're generally great, and my typical usage is for the phone to be on DND most of the time, and my watch to not be DND--so text messages, emails, etc, will vibrate my watch. This works like I want, except incoming phone calls don't cause my watch to vibrate. (Calls from a starred contact, which cause my phone to ring even during DND, also cause my watch to vibrate, for what it's worth.) This worked fine on my old WearOS 2(.2?) watch, and it seems like a pretty obvious use case, so I assume something's broken, or I'm fundamentally misunderstanding how this should work.

This is pretty frustrating, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here are my Watch notification settings:

Is the ring option on the watch quick settings turned off?

Assuming you're referring to the bell in the bottom right, it's turned off, since it seems to control whether notifications make a sound, not just vibrate:

However, I did turn 'Ring' on, received a call, and still got no vibration, sound, or visible indicator of the incoming call on my watch. Immediately after hanging up on the calling end, the watch did notify me of the missed call.
