My Apple Watch won’t go back to time or anything other than what’s on there now. It shows Grid View, List view and edit apps. The only thing I can change is the view. I also noticed the green light on the back seems to be flickering.

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.

Thank you. I’ll give the first one a try. If all else fails I’ll take a ride to the Verizon store where I got it. They’re very helpful there.

I was able to fix it. Not sure how or why😁. I shut it off and restarted it. I noticed that one of my workouts was in pause. So not sure if that had something to do with it.
