Watch too sensitive to touch

I have a brand new Apple Watch that is too sensitive to touch. The screen face is always changing just from resting my arm in my lap with the face down. Is there a way to adjust this sensitivity?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

New Apple 7 watch, does not respond when sliding fingers on face. Is there a setting that has locked the screen? I got a new Apple Watch 7 series, yesterday. Worked fine. Now will not respond to get notifications, or see battery, etc. when sliding my fingers on face. Nothing happens when sliding my finger any direction, except for left & right to change watch face. Is there a setting I may have messed up?

Apple watch unresponsive touch with Wrist Detection I have recently purchased an apple watch series 5 44 mm. The real issue that I am facing is that when wear the watch on my wrist with wrist detection enabled, the touch screen is not as responsive or fluid as it is on removing it. I have to make multiple taps on the watch in order to get this to work. Additionally, I noticed that if I remove the watch, it works just fine and also disabling the wrist detection feature also helps. However, this is not a solution and I really wants the Apple Genius folks to take this concern into account. This is a very serious problem for me.

My Apple Watch Series 5 no longer displays when I raise my wrist My Apple Watch Series 5 no longer displays when I raise my wrist. It is very inconvenient to have to use both hands to check the time, messages, etc. I checked the "always on". Is there something else I should try? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
