Watch series 4 slow to wake since os6 update

Prior to the watchOS 6 update, my Watch Series 4 screen woke up immediately up with one gentle tap. Now, since the update, I have to tap the screen very firmly several times to get the screen to light up, especially if I haven’t tried to wake it for more than a few minutes. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I’ve tried resetting the watch, no improvement. I don’t have it loaded down with a lot of add-on apps, either, so I don’t think it’s a memory problem.

For me, right now worked to TURN OFF ANIMATIONS in WatchOS 6 (on your iPhone go to Watch application, scroll down to Accessibility and in REDUCE MOTION feature allow first option), I am second day with this option and lagging is not present even with newest watchfaces.

I no longer have the slow to wake issue anymore, but I keep having issues with the swipe to view notifications or swipe to view the control center not working. It happens everyday, and I have to reboot my watch in order for it to work properly again.

Looks like a call to Apple is in order. Will post back if I make any progress!

I did it on Sunday: they loaded watch registers. But it would be good if someone more complain...

Regards.

Same problem here. Since iOS 6, the watch doesn't always wake on tap. Super annoying because I don't use wrist to wake. Should I bring to assistance to replace the device? It's worthless like that.
