Pin contact in messages on Apple watch

I have a pinned contact in messages on my iPhone that isn’t showing up as a pinned contact in messages on my Apple Watch. Is there a fix for this? The pinned contact is showing up in messages on my iPad, just not my Apple Watch.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 10

Contact names not displaying on Apple Watch in Messages iPhone 11 + Apple Watch Series 4. Contact names are no longer displayed in Messages on Apple Watch; only telephone numbers. I've tried all reset sync data and restarting devices. Nothing works. Seems like this stopped working after last update. The only information in the Community was several years old. Any recent suggestions other than what is already on the forum in the Community?

Communication Limits Apple Watch I have limited my child’s contacts for Apple Watch and it works great (screen time). However - I have just added a new allowed contact to the contact list and it seems to not sync with the watch. Every time we text between the Apple Watch and the new contact we get a “communication limit” message. What do I do?

Apple Watch 3 Texts I am new to Apple Watch and have a 3, I really like it. When I get a text message from a number rather than a name, kind of like a spam or just a blast email about a sale or whatever, I delete it from my phone or read it, it still shows as unread on my watch. However, when I get a text from a contact or a friend and delete or read it on the cellphone, it still shows up as unread and/or is not deleted from my watch. Still shows up as unread. Any way to remedy that?
