Got a new phone now my watch only shows the numbers of people texting me, not their contact name.

Tried the reset sync data in the watch app on my phone but it doesn’t do anything, the button flashes for a split second and that’s it, no further prompts, no indication of progress. Days later it has not pulled down my contacts. Tried with the watch on my wrist and on a charger.

Nothing on the apple forums can fix this and I don’t want to make an appointment at a store if i don’t have to (god i miss walk-in service)
