For some reason whenever I try to use the voice assistant function on the watch I have to open the phone and click on a notification every single time. That doesn't make it very useful. I have the lock screen setting on. Am I missing something?

I had the lock screen settings enabled but not "on headphones" in personal results. I enabled it and now calls and texts work. Thanks for the help.
I have the exactly same problem here. Voice assistant works like a charm when lock screen is unlocked, but when lock screen is locked or phone screen turned off, I can't do a thing with watch.

I think Google is messing around and breaking stuff, as usual. Mine worked for a while and now, suddenly, I have to unlock my phone to make a call using Assistant. Kind of makes Assistant useless for me…
I could send a voice translated to text with no issue.
Yes, same on Samsung Watches. Garmin chose to let Google assistant handle messages thinking it would be "better" but it is not.
A bypass that actually works pretty well.. If, for example, John Smith texts you "How are you" and you have John Smith in the watch phonebook, you can read the text on your watch, hit the button for the assistant, and say "Text John Smith Great how are you" and it will send that text directly and without all the verification stuff. Of course this does not help if you are doing something where you could not see the text from John on your watch and you wanted the watch to read it.
