    Have you tried to rest the zoom in the settings?

    On Apple Watch, open the Settings app, go to General > Accessibility, then turn on Zoom. You can also use iPhone to turn on Zoom for Apple Watch—open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Settings, then tap the option in General > Accessibility. Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut; see The Accessibility Shortcut.

    Hi

     

    Zoom (an accessibility feature) has been enabled on your watch and you have accidentally zoomed in by tapping the display in a particular way.

     

    To return the screen contents to normal size, double-tap on the display with two fingers.

     

    • Afterwards, if you would prefer to disable Zoom:
      • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Accessibility > Zoom - turn off.
      • Or on your watch, go to: Home screen (via a single press of the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Accessibility > Zoom - tap and turn off / on.

     

    • If the Accessibility Shortcut has been enabled and configured for Zoom, you can also enable and disable the feature more conveniently:
      • On your watch: quickly press the Digital Crown (the round button) three times.

     

    • To configure the Accessibility Shortcut:
      • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (at the bottom) > select / deselect Zoom.

    I had to use the app on my phone to correct. The 2-finger contact on the watch face was not working. Thanks for your help!
