watchos 2 contacts failed to synch on my watch from my phone

i installed watchos 2 and ios 9 today however i have my contacts on icloud enabled but my watch still has no contacts my favorites are numbers not their name. i don't know what is going on it was working fine before upgrading.

I'm having the same issue, plus my calendars & weather measurement type aren't syncing. (It's in Fahrenheit, but I use Celsius)

I had the same problem but I've found a solution which fixed it :


  • Go to the Apple Watchapp on your iPhone
  • General
  • Reset
  • Reset Sync Data


Wait for a few minutes, and it will be back!

Accepted Answer

I had the same problem. To resolve it I did the following.


  1. Ensured all my contacts were synced onto iCloud.
  2. I turned off iCloud syncing for my contacts, and selected delete from phone
  3. My phone was now empty ( which is why it is important to check they are in iCloud )
  4. I re-enabled syncing, which downloaded my contacts and then after a few seconds they were all transferred to the watch.

The button seems unresponsive... no alert or nothing indicating the reset... is this right?

Yes but it worked with my Watch, I imagine the animation is missing…

I cannot get either method to work as of yet. (re-syncing icloud vs. just trying the reset sync data button)
