The touch screen on my Apple Watch only works periodically.

Hello fiskj,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're experiencing issues with your Apple Watch not working as expected. When you say the screen stops working, what exactly happens? Is it that it's unresponsive, the screen is black or something else? When this occurs, what actions do you take so that it starts working as it should?

Would you please let us know the model of Apple Watch you have, as well as the watchOS installed?

Also, has the watch suffered any physical damage to the screen or had a screen replacement performed previously?

If you haven't done so yet, we suggest that you restart, or force restart your watch.

How to restart your Apple Watch

Best regards.

Hello fiskj,

Thank you for the follow up and the detailed information you provided; it's really helpful. The fact that you've already unpaired your watch and set it up as new and the issue persists, helps determine the path you should take. We do feel that you should speak with Apple Support, so they can investigate this further. You to reach out to them at Get Support.

Best wishes.
