Hi tjb81,

You will want to make sure message previews are enabled for your Messages app notifications. Here's a guide that will help: Change notification settings on Apple Watch - Apple Support

Take care.

Apple Watch doesn't show messages in Messages app For some reason, Apple Watch no longer shows new messages (sms) in the Messages app. The syncing of messages is broken somehow. I followed the article If you can’t send or receive messages on your Apple Watch - Apple Support, and even unpair and pair Apple Watch, but there's no effect -- new messages are not displayed on Apple Watch. Any advice? It is also strange that I couldn't find any option to contact Apple chat support about this issue.
