Just a quick update. I spoke to the Apple support staff and she advised me to re-pair my watch as new. I did so except that I didn’t set it up as new and used the latest backup as I didn’t want to lose all my settings. I also looked through my iCloud settings on my iPhone to make sure voice memos is enabled. This solved the problem for me and the voice memos are now syncing with my iphone.
P.S. I’m using iPhone X on ios13.1, Watch 5 on OS6
Found a solution that worked for me from reddit.
Delete the app on iphone then re-download voice memo from app store.
Just make sure the icloud back-up is enabled on voice memo before deleting the app and do the process, wait sometime to resync afterwards.

I would be very careful before doing this. Several people including me lost voice memos when they did this. If there is anything on your watch before you delete the iPhone app, it will delete all your voice memos on your watch when you delete it from the phone, as it removes the app from the watch too.
Over several and phone watch models, I've had this problem. After recently (for a separate problem), after factory reset on my late model watch with late model phone: briefly (for a couple of weeks), voice messages from the watch did sync (occasionally) with the phone and by now the usual state (no syncing) has resumed. Trouble shooting over time, with usual recommendations - re-pair the watch or 'get the latest update' and callback, etc. - has convinced me that syncing from watch to phone for this Apple app has never been ready for prime time, and unless you prefer to take notes on the watch and listen using the watch, you may as well save yourself some time and just use the phone.
I’m sorry. The problem is not solved and I’m not sure how to undo the “solved” symbol. This problem of not syncing is really problematic
I unpaired the watch and paired as new and I lost my most recent recordings! This didn’t work for me
My problem was solved. I just rebooted the iphone and watch and it start syncing again!
Same problem and me,
paired the watch as new but the problem still exists
Didn’t work the hard reset :(
Tried that. Didn't help.
SETH YOURE THE GOAT THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE ELSE THIS WILL WORK!!!
What worked for me was to go icloud settings on my iphone & turn off & on Voice memo. Within a couple minutes, the voice memos synced from my watch to my iphone’s voice memos
me too , I am using apple watch 3 and iphone 7
Remove.
Yes, like a fool I did the same thing. Lost several important recordings. Hey apple why don't you fix the bug instead of advising us to reboot every device we own?
Same thing happened to me! After unpairing and pairing, I lost a very important recording!!! Ugh! How do I get it back?
