watch face text message scam

A message was sent from my phone to the last person I had messaged. The message was a watch face that said ‘check out this watch face’. The scary thing was I did not send the message and the watch face was almost identical to my current watch face and included stats from my current day, including my calorie spend, and my current stand goal and my exercise goal. The only way I knew it wasn’t my watch face was because it had a different charge %, the heart rate was higher than mine and the daily reminder didn’t match mine. Everything else was the same. Is this a scam and what’s been hacked? My phone? My watch? Both? What do I do?

I wish I had but two reasons - 1. I was asleep at the time the message was sent. 2. It didn’t exactly match my watch face. My daily exercise, calories used and stand goals all matched but other things like the charge left on the watch, the heart rate (I have a very low heart rate) and my calendar reminder did not.
