Hello AverageIPhoneUser26,


If you're having trouble downloading the app directly from the App Store on your Apple Watch, try installing it using your paired iPhone: Download apps on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


  1. "On your iPhone, open the Watch app.
  2. Tap the My Watch tab.
  3. Scroll to the app that you want to add. Apps that you can install appear in the Available Apps section.
  4. To add an app to your watch, tap Install."


Let us know if this helps! Take care.
