Cant delete apps off watch

My watch will not display the “x” when the app jiggles nor can I swipe to delete when the apps are in list view. The apps I am trying to delete are not the standard Apple apps. Why can’t I delete apps I no longer use from my watch? (And my phone too for that matter)

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6
