Apple Watch Touchscreen Unresponsive Since the last Apple Watch update(9.6.2) the touchscreen on my watch becomes unresponsive many times a day. The only way to fix it is to do a force restart, which fixes it for a short time and then the screen doesn’t work again. I have cleaned the screen and don’t have a screen protector. Anyone else having this issue or know of a way to fix it?

Press the crown first to be sure water lock wasn’t accidentally turned on . Otherwise Force restart the watch by presssing the side button and Digital Crown button at the same time until the apple logo appears, then release both buttons.,
