Unable to install some apps on Watch Series 4

I just got a Watch Series 4 and I have an iPhone 6 Plus. I was able to install some apps on the watch, but others never make it, they'll spin for a while, then the circle will begin to fill, and I can see the app's icon on the watch filling up, but when it gets near the end it just disappears. Things I've tried:

* Restarting both devices.

* Uninstalling/Reinstalling the watch app from the phone.

* Unpairing/Re-pairing the watch.

* Resetting the phone.

* Resetting the phone without using a backup.

Any other ideas?

Do you have Watch OS 5.1.1?. I think this update cause the problem.

See the picture below. This is my watch with OS 5.1.1 and Shazam won´t install. the same thing with American Airlines, Strava, Facebook messenger, etc.

Hope this help.
