Apple Watch - text notification-# open

Why does my apple watch show more open text notifications than my iphone? I am receiving notifications so that is not the issue, it is the # of open texts which shows inside the text bubble

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

Because the messages you delete from your iPhone are not deleted simultaneously from your Watch. The messages on your watch are gradually deleted automatically as new messages are received.
