Contacts not syncing on Apple Watch 9

I just got the Apple Watch 9 and my contacts are not syncing. I've checked to make sure they are all saved to iCloud, but only a few are showing up on my watch.

Hello ksmith422,


To get contacts to show on your watch, go into the Watch app on your paired iPhone > My Watch tab > Contacts, and set it to Mirror my iPhone.


If it's already set to that and the contacts are not showing up, go to My Watch tab > General > Reset and select Reset Sync Data. Give it a few minutes and then check the watch to see if the contacts start appearing.


Contacts


if the contacts from the phone are still not showing up on the watch, you can try resetting and re-pairing the watch with the phone.


Unpair and erase your Apple Watch


Cheers!
