I have a series 5 Apple Watch running the latest version of watchOS 7 and it wont install apps I have downloaded on my phone. I click the install button on the apps in the Apple Watch app and it will act like it's installing for a few seconds then it will change back to the install button. Please help

Hi 364Owen,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you're running into an issue installing apps on your Apple Watch. We're happy to provide some information to help.
To start, are you able to download and install apps directly from the Apple Watch? See how here: Install apps on your Apple Watch
Also, a great first steps is restarting both your Apple Watch and the paired iPhone. Restarting is a simple step that can resolve a variety of issues.
If this continues after restarting, try unpairing your Apple Watch and then pairing again.
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch
Thanks.
