Why does my Apple Watch say someone isn't in my contacts?

Okay I noticed this with my brother the other day. Lets call him Brad Pitt.

I just got an Apple Watch, so I am a little new to it but had a strange incident. I held down the crown the other day and said, "Text Brad Pitt and tell him I will call him later tonight, when I get off work."

Siri then said. "I couldn't find "Brad Pitt" in your contacts. To whom shall I send it?"

Curious, I tried Siri only iPhone the same way. Holding down the home button, I repeated. "Text Brad Pitt and tell him I will call him later tonight, when I get off work." She instant made and sent the text.

I then went into my contact to make sure I didn't enter in wrong but there he was Brad Pitt. even checked my contract list on my watch, again, Brad Pitt.

Tried it again and still having the same problem. So far he's the only one in my contact like that.

Try turning off Contacts on your phone then turning them on again:

Settings (on iPhone) > iCloud > Contacts. Off, then back on. Then try rebooting your Watch.
