    I'm having this exact problem and I'm becoming increasingly frustrated.  I've searched for solutions to the problems, but have come up empty handed.  Both software updates on my phone and watch are current.  Can't seem to find rhyme or reason for this.  At first I thought my mac was picking up the messages until I realized my mac wasn't connected and then I wasn't even near the mac.  I've chosen the option for the messages to mirror each other and this has never been a problem until about 1 month ago. Now becoming commonplace.  Wish a solution would become available.

    Hi Jen

     

    Be sure to let Apple know that you are experiencing the same issue, either by contacting Apple Support or by submitting feedback (links in my earlier reply).

    Thanks, I spent some time with chat support for apple watch last night and we ultimately backed up my phone to iTunes and performed a restore to back up since everything in updates in both my phone and watch were all current.  We will see if this works.  Fingers crossed.  Since it happens only variably, it's hard to know just yet. Appreciate your advice.

    WHAT?!?!?!?  No, the restore did not work and I've not had a chance to address it again.  I'm shocked the replacement did not address the issue.  I figured it must be something inherent in the settings I had screwed up or perhaps the stock I randomly received.  But if you have gotten a new one and the same issue? What the heck?  I'm totally shaking my head!  Nightmare!
    It happened last night...if I only had the time to take an hour or two to get on support and show them each time. but they seem as perplexed as us!

    Same issue here. I'm running the latest OS on both my phone and my watch.


    Sometimes I get messages on both my watch and my iPhone. Sometimes I only get them on my watch. Often I get them on my watch, but not my iPhone or my desktop in Messages. The end result is that I can't trust anything.

     

    Apple needs to get a lot better at this cloud stuff. It's late 2016, and they still don't have a reliable system.
