Simply launch the Galaxy Wearable on your paired smartphone. Here, tap Apps Screen option.
Touch and hold, then drag and drop app icons into your desired order. The changes will apply instantly to your watch.

Tips for Organizing Your Galaxy Watch Apps
Place frequently used apps at the top for quick access.
Group related apps (e.g., fitness, music, communication) close together.
If you rarely use an app, consider uninstalling it to declutter your menu.
Use the recent apps panel for even faster access to the apps you’ve just used.
