Hi C Sneed,


We understand you're experiencing an issue with your Apple Watch locking while you're wearing it. The first step we recommend is reviewing the following articles to ensure Apple Watch fits properly:


Wearing your Apple Watch


Get the most accurate measurements using your Apple Watch


In the above article, specifically sections 4 "Check the fit" and 5 "Get the most accurate heart rate measurement" will apply.


Once reviewed, test the issue by disabling Wrist Detection:


-Open the Apple Watch app on the iPhone.

-Tap My Watch > Passcode.

-Turn off Wrist Detection.


Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
