Why are my Apple Watch apps blocked by Screen Time?

I turned on Screen Time’s “share across devices” setting to share my metrics between my phone and iPad. But now, even when Screen Time is off, most apps on my Apple Watch are blocked out. I’ve turned the setting on and off a few times and can’t get my watch to work when it’s on. What would you recommend to fix it?

Did you already try to force restart your iPhone and Apple Watch?

To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
