I cant change the face of my apple watch

I just updated my apple watch (got series 1, sport) and everytime I wanna put picture as my background it won’t let me and apple watch just turns off, I tried to change it in the apple watch app , as it’s connected to my phone, but it won’t let me either. I also can’t add new backgrounds on it, If i’ll do it on my phone it’s not working either, I’ve tried to turn it off and on but it’s not helping! I’ve deleted the backgrounds i didn’t like , but everytime it turns on they come back! Please help me, as i don’t know what to do, it’s also lagging badly everytime i go on it!

Apple Watch, watchOS 4.2.2

Hi


The following resources explain how to manage the watch face collection on your Apple Watch, how to customise supported features and how to configure which complications are displayed where on supported faces:



If you are configuring watch faces in the Watch app on your iPhone and they are not being reflected on your Apple Watch, then I suggest that you follow the instructions here, if necessary including unpairing and re-pairing your Apple Watch (including if your Apple Watch suggests that it is connected, but does not behave accordingly), which may also help with the lagging issue that you describe:



If the issue persists, then you may wish to seek help from Apple. Contact options include:
