Hello Marchant8,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to see contacts on your Apple Watch that are on your iPhone. To help with this, please make sure your Apple Watch and iPhone are connected to chargers and are fully up to date and then follow these steps:



  1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap the My Watch tab.
  2. Tap General, then tap Reset.
  3. Tap Reset Sync Data.



Then restart your Apple Watch and iPhone and test your issue again.



If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync



Cheers!
