I would reset the Watch by pressing in the crown and side button until you see the Apple logo, then release both.

If the issue persists, I suggest that you contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation to arrange for your watch to be inspected and, if recommended by Apple, serviced under warranty:
