Hello,
I am having an issue with the shortcuts app not syncing with the apple watch. I am trying to use an app called "Tessie" or "Watch for Tesla." However, whenever I put a new shortcut on the app on the phone, it doesn't sync with the watch. The watch and the phone are both up to date and I already tried to reset the watch and reinstall the app. So I don't know what else to do...
Thank you,
Sherif
iPhone 14 Pro
Not all shortcuts on iPhone are compatible with Apple Watch.
Bearing that in mind, have you transferred the shortcut to the Watch like this?

I also have the very same issue. I am trying to just add "Ping my iPhone", this is supposed to be compatible. Also, the list in the watch has a couple of shortcuts that does not shows up in Shortcuts app at all.
Update: All of a sudden it synchronised. Took like, half an hour to sync.
It was just a test. But anyway, it synced, it just took a while.

Why do you need a shortcut to ping your phone when that’s a built in feature of the watch?
I looked up that app and I see that they do offer a watch app.
So... Do you need to install it? It might be sitting here (see picture)
In the future, another thing that you might check is this:
Ah, got it.
Glad your problem has been resolved, as well.
