watch screen unresponsive to touch

Apple Watch SE intermittently unresponsive to touch. Example you unlock and use it, once screen goes off raise wrist, screen illuminates but will not allow any touch to click on screen and open apps. Have tried the 2 button reset, checked software is current, turned of wrist detection. Ideas?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 9

Hi Simon1212,


In this case we'd recommend unpairing your watch and pairing it again to see if the issue persists. You can learn how here: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If this issue persists you can reach out for hardware support here: Get Support


We hope this helps.


Take care.
