Random issue with messages on watch

[susan12369]

So I have a Series 0 watch that was working great until just recently, when all of a sudden I started getting notifications of Messages showing the phone number instead of the name. Around this time I had reset the phone (6S+) for other issues, so I assume it was just some setting. I re-paired the watch, and thought I was fine, got a message notification showing the contact name. Then a few minutes later, another message notification from same contact, this time showing phone number. I un-paired the watch and re-paired it again, same thing keeps happening. Just now I got three message notifications from a single contact, one with name and two with phone number. Any ideas? Thanks.

Try this...
Goto AW app on phone... General... Reset... Reset sync data

I had the same, and this fixed it.

Thanks, I did that and it didn't seem to help, the problem persisted. However, the past day or so, it hasn't happened again so I don't know what's up. Since I'll be unpairing and pairing with a new iPhone in less than a week, I'm not going to worry about it anymore and hopefully it won't happen again! Thanks for the tip, though!

Been happening to me too the past couple of days. Some senders show # and some names, where they used to show names but I never even deleted them.

There was a watch iOS update recently, I'm guessing that has something to do with it...

I followed CO1f's instructions and it is back to "normal".

I actually has this happen two days in a row. I think this thread jinxed me!
Each time I reset, and it fixed.
