The following worked for me:

1) Create shortcuts in Shortcuts app on your iPhone. Set each to “Show on Apple Watch”.

2) Hold down default shortcuts in the Starter Shortcuts area and delete each one.

3) Hold down each of your new shortcuts and select “Move”, choose the “Starter Shortcuts” folder as your destination.

4) Go back into each shortcut and turn off “Show on Apple Watch”, then turn back on.

5) Turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone and wait a couple of minutes.

6) Go to Shortcuts on your Watch and confirm all default shortcuts no longer appear.

7) Turn Bluetooth back On on your iPhone

8) Your shortcuts should On my way. Appear on your Watch.
