downloading app to Apple Watch

I'm having trouble installing an app on my apple phone from the Apple Watch app on my phone. I tried adding other apps and it downloads no problem, but when I try this app I want to add, the circle download pops up and then disappears. what should I do?

Cannot add apps to my Apple Watch I am trying to add the Spotify app to my apple watch. Both my phone and watch are at the latest update. The app works on the phone, however when I press install via the watch app on my phone it thinks about it and does not install. I tried other apps and get the same result. I have also restarted both the phone and the watch. Any hints??

Apple Watch App Download I want to download apps directly from my watch. Whenever I click ‘get’ and double click the button the ‘get’ turns into a spinning dial for around 1 second and then goes back to saying get and the app does not download. In addition to this, in my Apple Watch app on my iPhone there is no sections that says ‘available apps’ for me to download the apps from there either. Whenever I try to get an apple genius bar appointment it doesn’t let me, and every time I try to book a phone appointment it says there has been an error. I am well aware that I can download the apps from the app store on my phone but quite frankly at £269 for a watch I want all of the features to work perfectly.
