I cannot get my watch to leave the watch basics screen. I have done hard reset and shut down and restarted phone as well. It will show my Home Screen picture briefly then flip back. Advice?

If hard reset didn't fix it, I would go for unpair and re-pair next. That will restore your watch back to factory settings, while keeping your apps and data intact.
