Hello,
I bought a Galaxy watch last year in november and Whatsapp works fine.

Well... I have a Note 9. With Andriod 10

Galaxy Wearable updated to  last versión.

Factory reset my Gear2 

And sync Bluetooth watch and phone and make sure notifications are enable for WhatsApp in the App.

Thats it.

Also make sure you enable to have a preview of the message in the app

I was having the similar issue where WhatsApp notifications specifically stopped showing up in my watch after the Android 9 upgrade. There's no need to do anything fancy. Just go to Settings > Lock Screen > Notifications > Type. It may have turned to "Icon Only" after the upgrade. Just set it to "Detailed". Works fine after that.

Go to apps and uninstall gear plugin & gear module (Galaxy Wearable will install them upon start). Reconnect to gear s.
