Pics Not Appearing in Friends and Contact Names Not In Messages

Yup, same issue. It appears that the contacts on the iPhone aren't syncing to the watch at all; you can verify this by attempting to add a new friend to the circle and it should read "No Contacts".

Hmm, I didn't do anything and suddenly the pics are filling in as are contact names in Messages. Maybe it just takes a while before the data is synched?

I can also confirm this issue. All user photos in the contacts wheel are gone (despite showing up on the iPhone in the Watch app) and all text messages in the Messages app are simply listed by phone number instead of contact names.

Dear all,

I've the same problem, but I've found a radikal solution. I've reset the apple watch and pair it as new device to my iPhone 6 (not using the backup). After this new installation, my contacts, pictures and calender are fully functional.

I hope it helps.

Kind regards and have a nice day

Carsten
