You just need to find them and install them on your Apple Watch. Here's how: On the iPhone that's paired to your Apple Watch, open the Watch app. Tap Face Gallery at the bottom of the screen.
The Face Gallery contains all the available watch face options sorted into categories such as Activity, Color, Modular, and many more. The faces you see vary depending on which version of the watchOS your Apple Watch uses. Apple introduces new faces with each new release but rarely removes any faces.

If you've heard about the premium Hermes and Nike Apple Watch faces and want to add them to your Apple Watch, you may be wondering why you can't find them on the watch or in the app. It's because they're not there. At least they aren't there for most watches.

To get the Nike Apple Watch faces, you must buy the Apple Watch Nike model. The Nike watch faces are preinstalled on that model, and there's no other way to get the faces onto a standard Apple Watch model. The Nike models cost the same as the standard Apple Watch Series 5 models.

The same thing is true for the Hermes Apple Watch face. It's only available if you buy the premium-priced Apple Watch Hermes edition from Apple. Hermes editions of the Apple Watch come with an Hermes-designed leather watchband but tack nearly an extra $1,000 onto the price of the watch.
That's the price you have to pay if you want the Hermes watch face.
Can You Add Third-Party Apple Watch Faces
There are no third-party Apple Watch faces other than the Hermes and Nike faces. Apple doesn't allow third-parties to create or distribute Apple Watch faces.
