Messages complication shows unread message

The Messages complication on my watch shows one unread message. But all the text messages on my phone are read. How can I get rid of the incorrect notice on my watch?

Thanks,

Read messages on iPhone are showing unread in Apple Watch After the last update on my phone, messages that I have read on my phone still show as unread on my watch. Is there a fix for this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple watch not recognizing text messages as read Apple watch series 4 won't clear/mark as read the text notifications that are read on the iPhone. The only way it acknowledges one is if I manually read the message on the watch. There's no way of clearing the notifications either. I've disconnected and reconnected the watch, restarted both watch and phone, and also changed the settings to customer, also had setting to mirror phone. I'd honestly think this should be fixed easily by now and not be an issue with texts not sinking to the iCloud or something that someone mentioned back in 2018. Does apple have a fix for this or a fix coming soon?

No, sorry, that didn't help.
