Watch face problem

I downloaded a watch face and have successfully added it to my watch faces on my iPhone. But it won’t show up on my Apple Watch. What do I do?

Is this an Apple Watch face, or one from a 3rd party app? If an Apple Watch face, you can open the Watch App on your iPhone, and see My Faces at the top. Tap on the face you want on your watch and scan down till you see Set as current watch face and tap that to make it your current face.


If this a face from a 3rd party app, you should contact the app developer for help.
