contacts app missing on apple watch

I have started to use my brand-new Apple Watch 2 (OS3) today but from the very beginning the contacts app is missing on Apple watch. Therefore all messages are shown with phone numbers indead of names. How can I get the contacts app to my Apple Watch?

iOS 7.1.1

When placing calls or sending new messages, contacts can be selected via the Phone and Messages apps or by using Siri:
