Sleep Watch on Apple Watch SE

I cannot find the “Sleep” app on a recently purchased Apple Watch SE.

WatchOS updated to 7.2

iOS 14.3

There is no 'sleep' app on the Watch itself.

On the Apple Watch app on the iPhone too, I can see all information about the watch, except the 'sleep' section.

Searching the App Store on the Apple Watch brings up a list of third party sleep apps, but not inbuilt Apple sleep app.

There is no sleep information in the Watch health app. Health app on iPhone does not show sleep data from the watch.

I have unpaired the watch from iPhone, reset the watch, updated the software on the Watch and iPhone to latest version, and set it up again. Still no joy, the Sleep App simply will not show on the Watch.

I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

I didn't know this was a family watch you were setting up;

The following features and apps are not available: irregular heart rhythm notifications, ECG, Cycle Tracking, Sleep, Blood Oxygen, Podcasts, Remote, News, Home and Shortcuts.

I had the same problem. Went to the app store on the watch itself and searched for sleep and found the apple sleep app on the list (not at the top) and installed it there directly to the watch. It restored the sleep app, which now shows up in the watch app on the phone.

If you go into the watch app on the phone and tap on sleep there is an entry that says "set up sleep in health app",when you tap this it takes you to the setup for sleep in the health app.

Or you can go straight to the health app and scroll down and there is an entry there that says Set up sleep and a get started button.

If you don't see any of this try a hard reset of phone and watch.
