Hi Mboccio,


We'll be glad to assist with installing apps on your Apple Watch. For us to provide a definitive answer, we would need to know what's happening when you attempt to install the applications.


Aside from that, you should be able to install apps on your Apple Watch following the steps in Download apps on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


"Get apps with the iPhone that's paired with the Apple Watch

  1. On your iPhone, open the Watch app.
  2. Tap the My Watch tab.
  3. Scroll to the app that you want to add. Apps that you can install appear in the Available Apps section.
  4. To add an app to your watch, tap Install."


Cheers.

Hi Mboccio,


We appreciate the screenshot and we recommend making sure you're connected to Wi-Fi and then trying to download the apps again to see if the issue persists. Here's how if needed: Connect to Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.


"Connect to a Wi-Fi network

  1. From your Home screen, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
  2. Turn on Wi-Fi. Your device will automatically search for available Wi-Fi networks.
  3. Tap the name of the Wi-Fi network that you want to join. Before you can join the network, you might be asked to enter the network's password or agree to terms and conditions.

After you join the network, you'll see a blue checkmark  next to the network and the connected Wi-Fi icon  in the upper corner of your display. If you don't know the password to the Wi-Fi network, contact your network administrator."


Take care.
