While it does not pertain to the Dock, this one is an interesting hack to jump between two selected apps quickly; here’s what you have to do.
How to Organize your Apple Watch Dock in the Watch App
The Dock displays either the most recent apps or your favorite apps. As the name suggests, Recents will show you the app you used recently, in the order that you opened them. Whereas, with Favorites, you choose to keep up to 10 apps handy. Below is an example of both Recents and Favorites Dock view. By default, Recents is selected. And as soon as you switch to Favorites, you will see a list of apps that will appear in the Dock.

Thankfully, the Favorites list is not fixed. You can choose which apps to show or remove to fit your requirements. While you can choose the order in which they appear, it is essential to note that the most recently used app will still appear at the top of the Dock. And If you wish to add this app into your favorites, long press on the app until it expands a bit, and then tap on Keep in Dock.
How to Remove an App from the Dock
Whether you arrange by Recents or Favorites, apps can be easily removed from the Dock by this method. Notably, when you use Recents, this will work as closing or force quitting an app. However, when you remove it from the Favorites, it is erased from the list entirely.
