I had this problem tonight with my Watch6. I had reset the watch five times.  And deleted backups, after resetting, before going through the process of adding a new watch again. Finally, after the sixth reset, everything from my Watch5 was transferred to my Watch6. From my Watch5 backup. All my watch faces, that I had purchased through Google, were now on my watch6. No idea what the issue was. But I'm just glad that everything finally transferred over.
