I can’t change my watch's face on Applewatch 6

I can’t change my watch face on Applewatch 6. It shows on my phone on my Apple Watch app but it won’t transfer to phone

My preferred watch face shows on my phone as current but I can’t see it on watch

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.
