Watch doesn't allow me to update Apps.

I have the Apple Watch 6 with the latest WatchOS 9.3 in it. Though, I cannot update some apps such as Spotify, Shazam. I've tried many solutions proposed on website, for ex: connect it to the same wifi network, restart apple watch, connect it to the charger, even uninstall the apps and try to reinstall again (and it gets even worse because it won't reinstall the app again), so nothing worked. Since the role of spotify is so much important in my daily life, I may need help. Thank you.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 9
