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.


Also ensure that you are allowing sufficient time for the Live Photos to finish syncing before viewing them.


It is not presently possible to add complications to the Photo watch face - the only customisable feature is the photo itself. If you would like Apple to consider adding this feature, you can suggest that here (all submissions are read, but you should not expect to receive a reply):
