apple watch app

Recently purchased an apple watch 6. I had previously had an apple watch 3 however broke it, and subsequently "removed " the app from my phone (11) I now want to put the app back on my phone, however, when i go to app store, it just says "open", so i do that and can see everything ok. However once i close that on my phone, if i go to look for the app it is nowhere to be seen. I have read a few of the articles on here, but none of them seem to work. Short of resetting my phone, which I'm not keen on, i don't know what to do. Please help!!!!

Swipe left on your Home screen until you reach the last Home screen. Then swipe left one more time to invoke the App Library. Find the Watch app in the library. Press & hold the Watch app's icon and then select to add it to your Home screen.
