I would suggest you try a forced reset to rule out software glitches before you go to the effort of a Genius Bar appointment. Simply press and hold both the Digital Crown and the side button (together, about 10 seconds) until the Apple logo appears, then release the buttons and let the watch reboot. If this doesn’t produce a reboot it is likely one of the buttons is defective and you need hardware service, Contact Support
