Reset your watch by pressing in the cron and side button until you see the Apple logo, then release both.

Apple Watch not showing contacts all of a sudden All of the sudden, when I receive text messages, my watch only shows the number and not the Contact name as it always has in the past. Have contacted apple support, got nowhere. Tried the reset like all the info I found online said to do, nada. I've reset it, I've re-sync'd it, I've restarted both, not sure what else to do or why this is happening.

Apple Watch gets texts but doesn’t display message My Apple Watch revives texts but doesn’t display the message itself only the contact picture and name. I’m guessing there is a setting somewhere to change that but I can’t find it
