Workout App not displaying on a new Apple watch

Just got my first Apple watch and the Workout app is not on there. What do I need to do?

See if if appears in List View:

  1. Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Tap App View, then tap List View.

You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap App View, then tap List View.


In Grid view it should look like a circle with a man running inside.


The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
