Q: Syncing Contacts/Calendar Apple Watch

My apple watch is not showing my contact names anymore. I had to reset the sync data in order for my calendar to properly sync, and in doing so, I've lost the names to my contacts. It shows numbers only.

    Hi

     

    It may help to unpair and re-pair your watch. The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch when unpairing via the app. Choose to Restore from Backup when offered the option during set up. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).

    Hi,

     

    Restart your Apple Watch

     

    1. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device.
    3. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

     

    And restart your iPhone.

     

    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    3. After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

     

     

    Wait a few minutes then see if the names for your Contacts synced.
