My son’s Apple ID is sending me texts from his Apple watch

My son has a iPad with his Apple ID signed in. I have a contact in my phone for his tablet called “name tablet”. He recently got an Apple Watch with his own phone number. I set up a different contact as his full name to differentiate the two. I sent him a message to his watch while he was at school. It doesn’t appear that he seen it but he started texting me about something else and when I got his message it came from the “tablet” contact and not his watch…. Is it because he’s not on WiFi?

I don’t think that’s the case. Last night we were sitting on the couch next to each other and he was texting me from his watch and it came through in my messages as his phone number contact today while he’s at school he’s texting me and it’s coming through as his Tablet contact
