Google messages does not show up in my app tray on my Galaxy watch 5 Pro

@TommyJay Have you tried downloading it from the play store on your watch?

[TommyJay]

I have downloaded it from the Google Play Store and according to the Listing It is already installed it's just not listed in the app tray on my watch

Have you rebooted your watch since the install?  Have you cleared the watch cache?  Google Messages should have been installed on the watch by default, as it is part of WearOS.  Are you sure you are not seeing it or confusing it with the Samsung Messages icon?

[TommyJay]

I have rebooted several times but to know avail

[realaud]

If you already cleared the watch cache (not just rebooted), perhaps a reset is in order then. You can restore your backup and whatever glitch is causing this is unlikely to be replicated.

Sounds like a fantastic idea. That's what I'll do next. Thanks for all the suggestions and all the help
