Can’t change my watch face

I have the Apple Watch SE, and I have been trying to set my watch face to cycle through the 24 photos. I have my photos synced in settings, and when I go into the portraits section on the watch app, it says the portraits is the current face, but it still shows the standard “Metropolitan” clock face.

How to change the watch face on my Apple Watch? Lately, my Apple Watch has been displaying a watch face that is not one I've chosen. I have to hit the crown in order to get my set face(s). Cannot figure out why this is happening. Could it be a glitch with a recent update? If so, what can be done? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Watch faces won’t sync with App I just got an Apple Watch and created the face I want in the app. However, when I press set as current face nothing happens. I’ve tried the obvious turn them both off and on but hasn’t helped. Can anyone help, this is my first Apple Watch and to be having an issue already is very annoying after spending so much!

Did you pick up the Portraits face from the Face Gallery and add it to your Watch?
