IN sleep mode the iphone13 goes to dark screen with only time, but the watch doesn't. Prior to ios26, it would. Is this a bug?

FYI It still works for me. Does turning on other Focuses from your iPhone turn it on your Watch?

On your Apple Watch, go to Settings > Focus > Make sure Mirror my iPhone is enabled.

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Focus > Make sure Share Across Devices is enabled.
