My Apple Watch 6 is updated (as is my phone), but when I go to the App Store on my watch it keeps saying “We’re sorry. The Apple Store is momentarily unavailable. Please try again later.” Why is my new Apple Watch unable to connect to the App Store?

Can you access the app store on your iPhone?
If you can access it from your iPhone and not from your watch
Try force resetting your watch by holding in the side button and the digital crown for 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo, then release.
If you can't access it from your iPhone, try force resetting your iPhone and then your watch.
Normally this is a communications problem that is cleared by resetting the devices.
Or sometime by toggling on airplane mode waiting a minute then toggling it back off will work.

Any further update on this? I just got my apple watch yesterday and today I am getting the same message trying to get to the app store on the watch. I have tried connecting to 2 different WiFi accounts. Can't believe I would need to unpair / repair after just one day? Any help much appreciated.
There are two preloaded applications on the watch “App Store” and “Apple Store”.
The “apple store” does not work on the watch; however, the “App Store” app does work and allows you to download apps to your watch.
Make sure Wifi is turned on on both watch and phone.
