iPhone ”Watch” app crashes!!!

I bought an apple watch SE and paired it with my wife’s iPhone XR. After a few minutes, I noticed that the phone is not connected to the watch. So I tried opening the Watch app from the iPhone but it crashed. So I restarted both phone and watch but it didn't work. Then I tried deleting the watch app, but it doesn't allow me to do so since the watch is already paired. The phone was running on iOS 14. So I updated it to the latest version which is 14.1 but the issue didn't get sorted. To be honest, I didn't expect this from Apple.

Any help to sort out the above issue is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

Reset the apple watch
Disconnect the watch from iphone bluetooth
Back up the iPhone to the PC
Reset the Iphone
Delete the watch app
Restore the Iphone from the backup
Delete the watch app again
Download the watch app

After the above app started functioning proper.

I am having the same problem and have updated the watch as well. It still does not work. I have the iphone x and apple watch 6. The watch app will not open and immediately crashes. I am extremely disappointed. I have never had so much trouble with an apple product and I am a long time apple customer.
