Hi


You should not need to open your Camera app first on your iPhone - your watch should do that.


Try restarting both your iPhone and your watch. Turn both devices off first, then restart your iPhone before restarting your watch:


- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag the slider to turn off.

- To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
