On your Apple Watch - Try and Force ReStart your Apple Watch as indicated below:

  • Hold down the side button and Digital Crown at the same time. The Digital Crown is the rotating button located on the side of the device.
  • Keep holding these two buttons down until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.


See whether the above resolves the issue.
