I just recieved my Galaxy Watch 7 and when I tried to change the type of notification sound on my phone for my watch messages they all sound like the default notification sound. Is anyone else having this same issue

You can't change the default notification/message sounds on a watch.  You can on your phone, provided you have turned on manage notification categories.  The sound you choose on the phone does not carry over to the watch.  Storage constraints on a watch would preclude adding a sound base.

Storage?
Watch 7 had double the storage of Watch 6... which was something like double that of Watch 5. To have one or two self chosen notification sounds added to the latest watch models should be infintisimal.

The storage increase was for the USER, not for Samsung to add a sound menu.  YOU CANNOT ADD CUSTOM SOUNDS TO THE WATCH. What's not clear about that?  What Samsung could have done and what they did is is two different things.  It's not just a matter of storage space for the sounds, but how big the watch OS would get to add the functionality...if you think it's just a simple snip of text string, you have never done programming or know how programming works.
