Apple Watch 8 OS10 Side button Apple Wallet stops working

the only way to get it working again is to restart the watch. You can still use Apple Pay by pressing the wheel and accessing it from there. Has anybody else reported this bug with the Apple Watch 8 this is the 3rd time this has happened to me now.

Sometimes double clicking on apple watch does not work Occasionally when I am in a store ready to use Apple Pay via my apple watch and I double click on the side button to bring up a credit card, the credit card does not come up but the there is a flurry of displaying various apps (like it wants to show the dock). I end up using my iPhone to complete the transaction. When I get home, I try it again, and the credit card appears just as it should. Might it be certain terminals that cause this? This has happened several times at a Publix store, and once or twice at Aldi, but not always at either store. This has been a problem since the last update I believe, but may be coincidental. If I reboot the watch, it behaves OK for a week or so at any store.

Wallet & Apple Pay unavailable on Apple Watch Just found myself unable to access the Apple Wallet on my watch. Double-clicked the side button and nothing appeared. Thought this would get fixed so I promptly updated to Watch OS 11.0 from 10.6.1 Didn't work. So I rebooted my watch. Rebooted my phone. Nope. Unpaired and paired again. Wallet app initially showed up while the other apps were loading/downloading, only to then disappear. Unpaired again, then paired as brand new watch. No loading from any backups. Wallet app is still missing. Watch details: watchOS version: 11.0 model: Watch Series 7 (GPS) capacity: 32GB available: 23.35 GB Wallet & Apple Pay settings was set to ✔️ Mirror my iPhone. Searching for 'Apple Wallet' on the watch's App Store has shown that I have the app, but tapping Open doesn't prompt anything. :(

Same problem for me this Sunday. Worked on Saturday. Don’t know if it’s due to last security update that was released? I have to restart watch kill application but still when I double press it’s a black screen.
