Changing watch features from my i phone

My watch is working but I want to change various faces and app grouping for example. I can do this from the watch itself but when I go the PHONE and try to make changes from My Watch on phone, I can't get anything to change on the watch itself.

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:

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.
