Hi there


Please try this


Bypass the iPhone and Install Directly from the Watch

Instead of using the Watch app on your iPhone, go directly to the source. 

  1. On your Apple Watch, open the App Store app.
  2. Scroll to the very bottom and tap Account, then select Purchased (or search for the app manually)
  3. Find the app you want and tap the cloud/download icon to download it directly over Wi-Fi.
