Apple Watch Series 3 Face Color Glitch

[macTW]

Hi there,

When programming my Apple Watch face on the app on my iPhone, I can select Gold as the color for the Color Face. On my Apple Watch, it shows up blue. When I try to change it to gold on the watch, there is no gold option. Every other color works though, and can be found on the watch.

Am I the only one with this glitch? Let me know I’m not alone!

I don't see gold in my list on the phone

and the first option is white,
i thought maybe the selected color was placed first, but even when i pick another color, white is still the first option.

Interesting. Is gold an option on your watch, if you go to the face itself to change the color?

nope

you're all up to date on your OSes?
or are you running any betas?

maybe gold was added / taken away and your phone and watch don't agree.

Installed latest watchOS this morning and iOS a few days ago.

I restored the watch from an old backup of a watch so perhaps that caused the issue? Even though after restoring it I wiped it and set up as new.

Odd, I looked on mine and I have the gold option as well. It shows up on my watch as gold, no issues.

Now, after a watch restart (which I did multiple times with no change) when I try to change the color from the watch, gold appears. No clue why this time it worked.
