Notifications have wrong name on my Apple Watch

Hi,


in the last couple of weeks whenever I get a notification on my Apple Watch such as Exercise Goal achieved, the name on the notification is not mine but it is the name of someone in my contacts! I can see that I have logged in with my Apple ID so not sure how this has happened or how to resolve. Does anyone know?

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 9

Hello Shakes65,


We'd like to provide some help.


Have you tried restarting the watch since you noticed this happening?

If a restart doesn't rectify the issue let's try unpairing the watch and repairing it.
