Hey there amnadd,

The first article we wanted to share is one that shows the steps to download apps on your watch: Download apps on your Apple Watch If these are the steps you're already trying, we'd like to learn more about what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:

When was the last time you were able to download an app to your watch?
Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPhone and Restart your Apple Watch
If your watch is paired with a compatible iPhone model, the latest version is iOS 16.5.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then update: Update your iPhone or iPad We see you have watchOS 9 installed, but the latest version is watchOS 9.5.2. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to update: Update your Apple Watch

Cheers!
