Is there a quick way to delete all but the factory-installed built-in apps from an Apple Watch Series 2 (second-generation)?

According to these instructions

only the non-Apple apps even offer you the "x" to be deleted. So you can probably delete all of them within 60 seconds or so following the instructions in the link above.
