I deleted the Apple Medications app on the AW. It appears on my iPhone, however, when I go to the watch app, I do not see an option to install. When I go into the App Store on the watch itself, I do not see the Medications app. I can see the Medications app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/medications/id1621166653 so I know it's not discontinued; how do I get this on the Apple Watch pls?
 
As an experiment, I did the same. I’m finding the same as you—no obvious way to get the Medications app back on the Watch. I assume it’s connected to the Health app, which is also gone (if it ever was there). I suspect we won’t get them back until the next WatchOS update.
 
Here is the link from the App Store. It says the app is only available on Apple Watch, but when you open the App Store on Watch and search for “medications” it doesn’t show up. I think it’s safe to say this is some kind of bug. Apple intends the app to be there but it’s not.

 
I see it when I search the App Store on my watch. For some reason it was about the 15th app in the list when searching for "Medications"

thank you all - wow, it indeed was 15th down the list - odd, as 1) it's an apple app and 2) it's called "medications" so me searching for "medications" should have been a top result.

problem resolved thx

Just a guess, but for legal reasons Apple shouldn’t be favoring their own apps. Since it’s preinstalled, it doesn’t get searched for often, so it falls down the list.
