When I choose Watch face colors on my iPhone and apply them to my Apple Watch they do not match my choices

Hello, herb129.

We understand that when you change the attempt to change the face of your Apple Watch via your iPhone, the changes aren’t apparent on the Apple Watch. We are glad to look into this with you.

We would first recommend you Restart your iPhone. This straightforward troubleshooting step is quick and often resolves any number of issues. We also suggest that you Restart your Apple Watch.

Are you able to Change the watch face on your Apple Watch if you make the change from the Apple Watch?

If not, are both the Apple Watch, and it's companion iPhone backed up and up-to-date?

If, after following these troubleshooting steps, you are still unable to change your Watch face, we think that unpairing the Apple Watch and setting it up as a new device should be the nest step.
