Touch not working with screen protector on and "wrist detection" enabled

I'm surprised this is still an issue. I bought a new screen protector couple of days ago and after putting it, my watch did not detect every touch. I had to press really hard for the screen to respond. I thought the problem was the glass, so I went back to the shop and bought another glass which was the most expensive and high quality they had. They put the screen protector and handed the watch to me to try if it's okay - I tried it before putting it on my wrist and the watch was acting normally. But 10 mins later after putting it back on my wrist I noticed that the problem was on again.

So I went online and found this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8072541

I did disable the wrist detection and the watch is now acting normally, but we all know how big of a drawback this is. Those threads are from 2 years ago, and this is still a problem?! I am amazed.

Does Apple want us to pay for a new display every time we scratch it... We are not able to enjoy the full potential of this amazing watch if we want it to remain flawless...
