I just bought an Apple Watch Series 3 Nike +, and I noticed that I was missing the App Store (on the watch) and I went through the Watch app on my IPhone and there was nothing about an App Store to install. I looked it up but saw nothing about it. Should I re-pair the watch, or any other ideas?
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5
Hi. My guess is that you're using outdated iPhone with your watch. You are on iOS 12 aren't you? To get app store on the watch, you need WatchOS 6 on your watch. And to get WatchOS 6 on the watch, you need iOS 13 on the iPhone.
So try checking the iOS version you're running and if I'm right, update the phone first and then the watch.

Hi there! Thanks for the reply, I just checked my iPhone software and I am on the latest (IOS 13.3) do you have any other ideas?
UPDATE: I was just able to install the latest version of WatchOS. Hopefully when the update finishes the App Store will appear!
Hm, that's weird. Usually AW update to the latest version when they pair, but just in case, what WatchOS version so they have installed?
Yes it should be there. The App Store app is included in the Watch OS 6
When I first got the watch it installed WatchOS version 5.3.4 but now it has found a software update 6.1.1
Thanks so much for all your help so far 🤗
UPDATE 2: The software update has finished and now I have the App Store! Thank you to everyone in this forum who contributed!
Glad I've been able to help) And I wish you a Happy New Year with your new app store! ;)
