Q: Bizarre text on flip of achievement awards - anyone know how this text is populated?

Please take a screenshot by pressing the digital crown and side button at the same time. The screenshot should show up in Photos on your iPhone, at which point you can upload it here. Then we can see what you're referring to.

Mine all just have "Earned by Meg on ....."

If, in the Apple Watch app on your phone, you go into General>About>Name, what does it say?

Very, very strange.

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Under the Contacts section, what does it say under "My Info?" If you go to that contact in the "Contacts" app, is the strange text you see shown anywhere?

No, it's no sort of malware. At this point in time, malware is never really a worry on iOS. If you let others use your phone, they may have done it, or someone has access to your Apple ID and password. If the latter, you should change that password immediately at http://iforgot.apple.com.

To get rid of that text, tap the Edit button when viewing your contact, and delete the text from the "Nickname" field.

You are welcome. If you are concerned about the security of your Apple ID, you may wish to look into two-step verification: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support.

OMG yes ... in the contact card there is a new field at the top under the surname (before the company) field in which that text shows ... do I have some sort of malware / virus ?????

Not unless your phone is jailbroken. It's far more likely to be some sort of practical joke, or someone playing with your phone. Put a passcode on your phone.
