If you're not a big fan of crowded app design on the Apple Watch, WatchOS 4 has entered a simpler alternative that makes it easier to scroll and locate an app.

By default, the Apple Watch uses a truly strange app design. If you click Digital Crown, you will see all your Apple Watch apps arranged in a confusing mess with just the icons, no app names or anything. Fortunately, life doesn't have to be like this.
Despite this, the downsides are that you won't be able to rearrange the apps (they will only appear in alphabetical order) and it may take longer to scroll through the list to find the app you want to open, since technically it is the default. The design of the application allows you to include more applications on the screen. But, at least, this new method allows you to see the names of the applications, making it easy to see which app is which without getting confused.
To change the app layout on your Apple Watch, start by pressing down on the Digital Crown to bring up the app layout, if you haven't done it yet.
From there, force the screen touch by pressing down hard enough until your watch vibrates. You will get two options displayed on the screen: “grid view” and “List view”. Grid view is the default app layout you have been using, while list view is the new app layout. Tap on it to change it.
Your Apple Watch apps will now be listed in alphabetical order. From there, you can use the Digital Crown or the touch screen to navigate the applications.
That's all about it! If at any point you want to go back to the layout of the Grid View app, just touch the screen again and select “grid view”.
