Try and restart the watch and the iPhone to see if the issues persist

If the watch is not already updating, you might also want to force restart it to see if the issues persist


Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown until the screen turns black and the Apple logo reappears, then release both buttons. Your watch may take a few moments to restart.
