double click om Apple Watch for online purchases

I have made several purchases on line and it asks me to double click on my Apple Watch to approve. It takes me anywhere from 5 to 15 attempts to get this to work. I have tried slow clicks, fast clicks but not much luck.

Does tapping the watch screen work for other functions/apps? Are your using a screen protector?


The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
