Text notification dismiss button not working

Apple Watch 5


When I get a text notification the “dismiss” button at the bottom of the notification doesn’t work. Strangely, if I scroll the notification so that only part of the “dismiss” button is visible (the rest is off the bottom of the screen) it works just fine. Saw the same behavior on a family members watch. Anyone else seeing this? Any fix?

Try a hard reset.


Press & hold the Digital Crown & the Side Button together until the  appears, then release.
