I mistakenly deleted the blood oxygen app on my Series 6 watch before setting the app up. I tried searching the App Store on the watch to re-download the app, but it is not there. How can I get the blood oxygen app back onto my watch? Is there a way to restore it to factory settings that will bring the original apps that came with it?
Apple Watch
Go into the apple watch app on your phone. Then in the app store, also in regular iPhone app store on phone, type in Blood Oxygen. The app will not have the regular download button. Choose the app called Blood Oxygen as shown on the pic. It will then give you a chance to install it.
Unpairing your Apple Watch restores it to its factory settings. For more info, see:

youncannot install apps from the iPhone Watch app since Series 5. You have to do it from the App Store on the watch itself. While the blood Oxygen app shows up in the iOS App Store, it does not show up in the Watch App Store, so I can’t re download it.
You have to go into the App Store directly on the watch.. Then you can look up the App and download it again from the cloud. It will then automatically show up on your watch again
I tried this, but it did not work. The app no longer appears. I restored from a backup. I may need to do it again and just set up as a new watch, but I wanted to try to keep my data history from the backup.
I had the same thing happened to me. If you happen to be running the watchOS 7.1 B that it is not on there.
Thanks for enlightening me. Appreciate it.
