Have you always had this problem? Or is it recent?


Perhaps an obvious question but have you checked to make sure that Wrist Detection is still turned on? In the Watch app on your phone, go to Passcode>Wrist Detection and make sure it's enabled.


Do you have tattoos on your arm where the watch sits? If so, that's going to be a problem.


Also, make sure that your watch is updated to the latest version of watchOS.
