Watch Face Unavailable This Watch is not available with your current version of watchOS

I just started messing with these Watchface apps again facely, maker and Facer, everyone of them say watchface unavailable and I’m on a series 5. Everything is up to date phone (12 pro) and watch. The lack of customization of watchfaces or installing of third party real functioning watch faces is ridiculous at this point with Apple Watch. That’s why my daily driver is an amazfit watch.

I have never downloaded an Apple Watch face before until I saw the ones for the International faces/bands for the Olympics they offer on their website. From my iPhone, Safari, I click on the "Add Apple Watch Face" button and nothing happens. I turned off block pop-ups. Still doesn't open the page to do the download. Went to Chrome. Pop up worked, and I downloaded the watch face, opened with "Watch" and I get the error. I just wanted to document this thing is still an issue. I haven't seen/read anything where someone was successful if they have the right iOS's installed. :-(

There are 5 or 6 downloadable watch faces on the Apple Watch series 6 page. One is for photography which I’m a photographer. I tried to load it and I’m getting the same error “Watch Face Unavailable This Watch face is not available with your current version of watchOS”. I have the series 6 version, which I bought from my mobile carrier. The iOS is up to date. Will these faces only work for watches that were purchased from an Apple store?

I’ve been experiencing this same issue with getting an error when attempting to redeem the International watch faces for my new sport loop band. Just spoke with Apple Support a few minutes ago and during the conversation they had me connect to WiFi and when I attempted to redeem the watch face using the App Clip, it worked!

Not sure if you’ve tried this as a possible fix, but for me it seems the issue was being on my cellular data versus WiFi, which is odd that this could have been the source of my problem. Give it a try!

Try contacting the app developer;

Not all watch faces are compatible with all watch models.

You might need to update your watch toWatchOS7.

I have the series 6 and have the same exact problem. cannot figure out why.

both my phone and watch are up to date with their iOS.

please advise.

yep, I tried it today as well, and it doesn't work - I get the same error message as before.

hope someone at Apple will look into it.

Have you contacted Apple so they can look into it? This is a user-to-user technical support site operated by Apple.

we are trying to see if any of the users here may have found a solution...

Yes, but you mentioned that you wished Apple would look into it.

Did you ever find a solution to this? It's SO aggravating!
