Built-in Apps Disappearing After watchOS 26 Update on Apple Watch Series 7

After updating my Apple Watch Series 7 to watchOS 26, the built-in Apple apps started disappearing on their own and won’t reinstall. Apps like Weather, Books, Notes, Music, etc. keep vanishing, and they occasionally try to reload but fail. This is the first time I’ve experienced such an issue. What could be the reason?

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 26
