Will Somone from CMF address this post? This seems to be a pretty widespread issue of basic smartwatch functionality being broken.

I am using a up to date CMF watch pro with a up to date Nothing Phone 2. Is there a fix in the works? I will be returning promptly if no solution is in sight.

Hello,
My Watch Pro is not displaying the name of contacts saved in the app when I get text message notifications. Only the phone number is displayed. I have followed the steps given to me from support which included clearing the app cache and storage, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, resetting the watch itself, making sure the firmware is the lates version and making sure all the correct permissions are set. None of that has worked. I have also tried changing the format of the phone numbers themselves (I am in the US). One of the primary reasons I got the watch was for text notifications so I would like to figure this out. The messaging app I use is Messages on Android and I am using a Pixel 6a with the latest version of Android installed.

Sbor02 I am having the same problem with no contact name from sms txts also and no one seems to have a solution. Very frustrating.

Caniwi thank you for confirming that. I’m not the only one. I have been going back and forth with support for the past couple days on this. There still has been no resolution. I noticed that you’re having issues with SMS. At first I thought maybe it was an issue with RCS messages. So when I saw your post I had some messages sent to me from SMS and the contact name is not displaying for them either. So I just think it’s some type of bug in the messaging. I will let you know if support is able to figure it out if they get back to me.

Yup, same issue. Being able to add only 20 contacts in itself is a huge dealbreaker. To not be able to see who is calling is apalling. Why is nobody talking about this in the reviews?! Just 2 hours in and I am already questioning if I gave the design a bit too much importance while buying.

UPDATE - I was facing this issue on my OnePlus 9 Pro running Android 13.

Since my phone had the green line issue it was submitted in the service center for screen replacement. I had to reset the phone while submitting and I received it with the Android 14 update (the update coincidentally dropped at that time).

Ever since, all contact names for incoming calls are getting displayed properly. I don’t know what fixed it but I feel this issue has not been watch related afterall.

So_rohantic no way to let the Watch show contact Caller?

I’ve solved this number needs to be saved In your phone with +44 in front you then save this to watch contacts and delete any numbers without +44 on watch contacts otherwise it will duplicate and not work.
