Apple Watch Missing Applications

I just bought an Apple Watch Series 3 Nike +, and I noticed that I was missing the App Store (on the watch) and I went through the Watch app on my IPhone and there was nothing about an App Store to install. I looked it up but saw nothing about it. Should I re-pair the watch, or any other ideas?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

Hi. My guess is that you're using outdated iPhone with your watch. You are on iOS 12 aren't you? To get app store on the watch, you need WatchOS 6 on your watch. And to get WatchOS 6 on the watch, you need iOS 13 on the iPhone.

So try checking the iOS version you're running and if I'm right, update the phone first and then the watch.
