i've tried unpairing and re-pairing, restarting both devices and relaunching the app with no use.

but after restarting the apple watch, i activated airplane mode and deactivated it.
and all the Watch Faces i had showed up in the app, and everything works perfectly now!!

such a lousy solution, but hey it worked.


thanky you.

Hi


Note that you should tap the button to Set as Current Watch Face, rather than pressing on it.


The following steps may also help:


Close the Watch app and then restart both your iPhone and your watch:


if the issue persists, next try unpairing and re-pairing your watch:
