    Click the plus button, you can re-add the missing face.

    Hi

     

    It is not possible to undelete a watch face that you already have deleted from your watch.

     

    However, you can add a new watch face of the same type and then repeat any customisations that you may have made to the original.

     

    To add a new watch face:

     

    • When viewing the time on your watch, press firmly on the display until the Customise button appears (but do not tap on it);
    • Swipe leftwards on the screen until you reach the New watch face option (at the far right of the presently available watch faces);
    • Tap on the New button "+" > turn the Digital Crown to choose between available types > tap on a watch face to select it.
    • Then press firmly on the watch face again > tap on the Customise button to add any customisations.

    Well Apple literature on the iWatch says:

    “Delete a face from your collection. Don’t use a face much anymore? With the current watch face showing, firmly press the display, swipe to the face you don’t want, then swipe it up and tap Delete. You can always add the watch face again later.” Yet no explanation is provided as to how to "add the watch face again later" i.e., undelete.

    Thus my original question.

    Read the reply from ssschmidt. That indicates the procedure.
