Hey there TheBubble3,
Being able to use your watch is important, and we'd like to help rule out some possible causes:
- If you have a compatible iPhone model you're pairing with your watch, the latest version is 14.3. You can verify which version number is installed within Settings > General > About. Here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- The latest version for compatible watch models is watchOS 7.2. You can verify which version number is installed within Settings > General > About. Here's a link that'll show how to Update your Apple Watch.
- If both devices are already up to date, we'd recommend restarting both devices. This link shows how to Restart your iPad, and this one shows How to restart your Apple Watch.
- If there's a covering on the watch screen, please remove it, then test for the same issue.
If after checking the above and you still need help, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support here: Get Support
Have a good one!
