Not all apps are made for the watch.

If you install an app on your iPhone and it is made also for the watch it will either auto install (if you have activated this) or it will show up as an app to install.


Auto install iPhone>My Watch>App Store>Automatic Downloads>Toggle on for automatic downloads

To see what is installed

iPhone>My Watch>scroll down to near the bottom Installed on Apple Watch, if there are any there that you don't want on your watch tap it and the toggle off the Show App on Apple Watch and it will be removed and moved down to the next section


And just under that you have Available Apps

if there are any there you want on your watch tap install
