Apple watch malfunction

The watch vibrates and the screen spasmodically moves up and down without end - like it is having a seizure. I've tried restarting/resetting/restoring to no avail. I think it must be a hardware issue. Anyone esle have this problem? Is there any hope? I've had the watch just over two years so the warranty is expired and I'm not sure its worth the money to fix it.

Thanks,

Apple Watch Series 5 My Apple Watch Series 5 Screen becomes unresponsive whenever Always On is turned on. Sometimes the screen completely goes black, however I can still interact with the content and hear it but not see it. I have to either remove the watch completely off my wrist or restart it by holding down the crown and the power button. Has anyone experienced this? Should I contact Apple and try to get a replacement since it hasn’t yet been a year since I purchased it?

Apple Watch series 6 random black screen My Apple Watch works fine apart from randomly everyday the screen goes totally black and won’t respond. The watch is on because I get haptic feedback but no display. To wake it back up I have to either reset or take it off for a minute then it works fine again. I’ve tried resetting, repairing and a full restore. Also tried turning wrist detection off and on again but nothing helps. I’m running watch os 7.4.1 and iOS 14.5.1 so all up to date. Can anyone help?
