Hello everyone. So the title. I wrote in last year about this issue for the watch 6: how to add a custom ringtone to my watch so I can use it on there. Your great ideas worked! Now I have a different problem with it for my new watch 8. I don't see any reason for this issue.

I want to select the same custom ringtone for my new watch, but it isn't showing up under the list of ringtones in settings. The ringtone is sitting in the music folder in myfiles, & I have already created the notifications & ringtone files. The same ringtone is sitting in those folders. I do not see any permissions to grant under settings. I've rebooted my watch, & I was told to switch between vibrate & sound as well, to reset the list, but nothing. 

What else can I try? Thanks for reading, I don't know what to do.

      Have you downloaded the ringtone? You might have to do that. You might also need to change some settings too.

      Thank you, Greenleaf. I will check. Maybe I do need to download it again. Hopefully there won't be a duplicate.

      Hello again, Greenleaf. I did move the ringtone again, & I was told that it was added; it ended up being overwritten, so it was already there. I don't see any settings to change, having checked them. Fingers crossed. This could be so much simpler.
