Go to the customize option for the watch face and use the crown to scroll through. I had the same thing because I had previously set mine on the purple setting (which previously just changed the minute markers to that color) when I upgraded, I lost all color until I scrolled back to the black setting.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone else getting constant pop ups on the watch to, “sign in to complete purchase?” Keeps asking me to enter my Apple ID password, which I’ve done but, still keep getting the pop up.
Interesting... I have Calculator and the Noise Complication on Series 2. They also redesigned list view for the apps, looks much better now.
It is running smoother on it too, most times even better than 5.
Ok. Looks like it is trying to get a two factor verification code. But...where do we enter a verification code for the watch?
Was there a specific face/location you saw them on? I also don’t see them on the app screen
Watchos6 has a couple of hidden features that are sort of neat for data geeks like myself. You can view all of your ACTIVITIES on the watch the day you perform them. Also, you can dive into the activity and even into the laps for walking/running/hiking. Furthermore, there is a button is settings (don't know why its there) called Health, which has your latest data for multiple metrics, such as workouts, VO2 Max, Flights, etc. Pretty cool stuff.

Can you now put the Podcast Comp on the Infograph or Infograph Modular faces? I have been waiting for them to add that for literally a year! I use those faces but still have to have an "Old" face to swipe to since they never added a Podcast complication to the 2 faces mentioned above. Every update I keep waiting for them to add it.
Is Speak Time a new feature? I know we had the option before with the mickey and minnie faces but I just noticed I can do it on any screen with 2 fingers since WatchOS 6.
So finally the runs doesn’t just disappear when you press done? Pretty great that you’ll be able to take a second look at the finished run later on the day
I no longer see the messages option to add to the face. It was there before the update. As I scroll many of the options are blank...
I really like downloading my available watch apps directly from my watch. Further, the app doesn’t even have to be on your iPhone to work on the watch.
And I’m not sure if this last item existed before watchOS 6 or if it’s new. However, if someone sends you a news article link in messages, you can download the entire article and read it on the watch.

You can add Messages as a complicating, but you have to do it from the watch itself. I have it on my Infograph face.
So far the only problem I've experienced is Auto Switch. It has not worked for me. I am in the processing of unpairing/pairing to see if that helps. Fortunately unpairing/pairing is easy because it allows you to restore from backup, but it does take a little while to complete.
I too am missing the Noise App and the complications within the Watch app and the watch (Series 3) itself. I'd love to get a first hand look at the tools, but I am worried that they limited it to the Series 4...
That might be the case
. I have a series 4 and the noise app and complication are available and functional for me.
My battery life went from about 2 days to about 8 hours since upgrading to WatchOS 6. This is disappointing.
Pretty normal with early betas - my S2 battery tanked back when I used the WatchOS4 beta - actually so much I dropped the WatchOS 5 betas
Yeah, but I would like to keep the green second hand and the ring in green. Apparently that is not possible if you also want colorful complications
Downloaded 6 to my watch. Yes, some complications are now missing from the info graph face. The ones I need still appear on other faces I use, so no big deal and I love the California watch face. What I love about this new OS is now the wrist-twist to open the face is lightening fast for me. One of my biggest gripes on the last OS was how long (if ever) it took for the watch to open when I lifted my wrist. Looks like that will no longer be an issue, I hope. However, the biggest downside is now the battery life is TERRIBLE. I guess that's just collateral damage from a new OS.
