Hi Alan2clean,
For help with downloading apps on an Apple Watch set up by a family member, test the steps below found in the article here: Download apps on your Apple Watch
"How to get apps
Use the iPhone that's paired with the watch, or use the App Store on the watch.
Get apps from the App Store on your Apple Watch
- Press the Digital Crown to see the Home screen, then tap the App Store.
- Tap Search to find apps using Scribble or Dictation or scroll down to discover featured apps and curated app collections.
- Tap an app to see its description, ratings and reviews, screenshots, release notes, and more.
- Tap the price or tap Get.
5.When prompted, double-click the side button under the Digital Crown to download and install the app."
However, if the 'Ask to Buy' feature was enabled or other restrictions were set during the initial setup you'll want to reach out to the family member that helped set up your Apple Watch for assistance. Set up Apple Watch for a family member
Cheers.
