When you set up a new watch face on your iPhone, it doesn't move to apple watch, but the other features work. On another phone everything works. In the Watch app, I can't even see all the watch faces offered. We tried restarting, pairing again, but nothing helped. Any advice ?
Thank you

Do you have two watches paired to your iPhone? There are reports of this, and many other problems with watch faces, impacting users who upgraded to AWU2 and AW9- and several of whom now have two watches paired to their iPhones (the new one and the older, say AW6 or AW7).
Watch faces are not syncing- and that is both ways (watch face on Apple Watch App not syncing to the AW...AND...a watch face created on the AW not syncing to the Apple Watch App under "My Faces".
In addition, there are many who are currently finding that watch faces simply aren't being displayed within "Face Gallery" on their Apple Watch App, or take an inordinate (15+ minutes) amount of time to fully load.
There are clearly problems with Apple's implementation of Watch OS 10, iOS 17, and, quite possibly the integration of the two with those who have two watches paired with their iPhone. It's unfortunate and most disappointing.

Do check if Photo synching is enabled in Settings on the Apple Watch app. If yes, toggle off the switch to disable Photo synching and refresh the Faces Gallery. That solved the problem for me. Good luck 🤞🏼
I have discovered, before you transfer your photos to a new watch face make sure to switch off the “live” photo on each photo used or the watch face will hang, and stop working. Hope this helps.
it's only added to the watch if one click on the add button in the watch gallery in the watch app on the iphone, and might not work if the watch is a setup for family device rather than one tied to an iphone with the same appleID
Hello.
I've had the exact problem...I had to factory reset the Watch for it to work again.
Are contacts syncing too, instead of emails and numbers? If they aren't, then that's another sign of the same problem.

I recently simply switched the pairing off, left it for a few minutes then switched it on again and it started working normally again. Unfortunately after a little while it went back to not syncing again. I tried the same message and it refused to work again. I then switched the watch off and then when it came back on again it wouldn't sync until I had switched the pairing off and then on again. Although I am pleased it worked it seems to me that all is still not completely well with bluetooth between ios17 and Watch 10! Maybe when 18 and 11 are launched things will work better but frankly I am not holding my breath. Rather than introducing new features like AI perhaps Apple could get what we have now working properly. Sorry but this has been very frustrating for me!
Sorry but it didnt work. Still not working.
Did you resolve this issue?
if you already synched the face to your Apple Watch once all you have to do is scroll the faces on your watch to change them, not on your phone.
Setting up a new watch face on iPhone doesn't move to Apple Watch
