Apple Watch locking while wearing

It looks like this problem is not uncommon and none of the solutions recommended for others has helped. I think there was something in the latest security updates that seems to be causing this issue and it is very frustrating.

Apple Watch locking Since the recent update my Apple Watch automatically locks while I’m wearing it. I have not had this issue until recently. I’m consistently checking it through out the day because it’s locks whenever it feels like it. Anyone else having this issue? Any resolutions?

Apple watch 4 locking Hey, I have an apple watch 4 which I’ve had for over 3 years, and never had any problems with it. However, it recently starting locking whilst I have it on, several times during the day. I’ve tried switching it on and off several times, but it’s still happening. Has this ever happened to anyone before, and how did you manage to fix it?

My apple watch series 8 keep locking while I am wearing it - wrist detection is ON. Ever since I got the apple watch series 8 in December 2022, It will lock while on my wrist. There will be a few days where it does not do this, but then there are days like today where it just locks over and over even tho I am wearing it and unlock it frequently. I have already tried unpairing/re-pairing, turning it off and on, resetting to factory etc and it STILL does this. I'm not sure what the next step is?
