I have tried multiple resets. Spent an hour and a half with Samsung tech support in a chat trying to fix. After completely resetting the watch and reinstalling everything Samsung have told me to take the watch to a service centre. It makes me think the only fix for this could be a firmware update. However, based on all the comments in this forum, it would appear a lot of people are going to need a firmware update on almost every watch. I'm not sure I want to waste my time going to the service center unless I hear it's worked for someone else. Has anybody else had their problem fixed by  a service center?

I solved this issue by installing WhatsApp on my Galaxy watch. You can install it through the App Store on your Watch and link it to the same account you use on your mobile phone.
Cheers...!!!

I am currently experiencing the same issue. I have already done a Galaxy watch 5 Pro reset yet the ID of stored caller sfrom my phone contact list doesn't display on my watch. I have equally downloaded the Google phone app to no avail.
