Q: covering the display acts like force touch

this is happening for the first time today: covering (gently) the display to turn it off behaves sometimes as if I was applying force touch on it and puts the watch in face "customize" view ... I deactivated "cover to mute", turned it back on, restarted the watch, did a hard reset too, no change. Anyone experienced the same issue?

Apple Watch, null

    adding that very often, the home screen becomes uneditable. You must switch screens back and forth a few times until you can move or delete apps by using force touch.

    This is the kind of irritating behaviour that can sometimes be fixed via a rest - hold the digital corwn and the side button together for around 10 seconds - until the Apple logo appears.

     

    Hope that helps

    Thanks I tried that already and that didn't change anything. But since I first posted here,  ...walking a bit with the watch on my wrist, not sure if that's related ... motion processor may be ... the issue disappeared. (that's for force touch being activated by just covering the screen with the palm of my hand).

    That's happening again ... a bit upsetting ... each time when my wrist isn't raised and I notice that the screen is still on; covering it generates a force touch effect.
