Apple Watch swipe up not working

I have an Apple Watch series 3 42mm running watchOS 6.1.1. I experience a problem where the watch face goes 'deaf' every few days; swiping down from the top to view notifications does nothing. Similarly, swiping up from the bottom does not bring up the control center. I've only been able to resolve this by restarting the watch.

Any thoughts on what is causing this? Bug in watchOS?

Try a forced reset;

To force reset your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.

Reset your Watch by pressing in the crown and side button until you see the Apple logo, then release both.
