Clock face with an endless switching saga, add a stop function

The endless loop of "Switching" clock face is a regular issue
Although the clock face appears fine on the watch the phone app can still say "switching" which can't be cancelled.
ADD a CANCEL function, instead of "ok, I'll wait" and/or GIVE a reason why its not working.

It should be noted that when the user receives this error [below], he has no idea why.

Clicking either option returns the user to the same position of the perpetual "switching".

 

The same "switching" message he gets when he installs clock faces, but at this point he hasn't requested any change .

 

The only way out of the loop is to clear the cache on Android or reinstall the App on IOS. Or may be logout and in might do it.

 

What is confusing for the user is that when he finished loading his clock face the first time it appeared on the watch and all was fine.

 

Next time he returns to clock faces to do something he is potentially confronted with this error message, without having done anything to provoke it.

 

Presumably, although it doesn't say so, it is attempting to update the current clock face.

 

Because it is, he cannot change clock face due to the persistent error message.

@Guy_ your title is only a statement. The title should specifically mention the suggestion.
