How do I get the watch face to appear after syncing?

Tried pressing the watch crown as shown but nothing changes. Can’t get the watch face to appear after syncing to iPhone.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

First, make sure you are not in Theater Mode:

Use Control Center on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

or see the reply to:

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

Finally, see:

If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support

If you still need help, contact Apple Support.



If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
