Hello Catnb,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Let's restart your Apple Watch, even though this is a simple step, it may help:


"How to restart your Apple Watch if you have watchOS 8 or earlier

  1. If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger.
  2. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
  3. Drag the Power Off slider.
  4. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo."


More details can be found here: Restart your Apple Watch


If the issue persists can you provide a few more details? What is your exact watchOS version? When did you first notice this? Also, are you Abel to change your watch face using your iPhone?


Cheers!
