Setting up Apple Watch SE

I am trying to set up my new Apple Watch SE 2023 but when it asks me to touch the watch face to change the watch face in the get started section nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? It says it should enter edit mode but it is unresponsive. Thanks


i think I’ve sorted it by going back using the wheel so I’ll be in touch if I have any other problems 🫤😀
