Watch idle

Why does my watch goes idle? On a daily basis my watch shows an hour that is not the correct one. I noticed it happened since and update that happened about 2 weeks ago. I thought that it would fix if I did a shut off but no. How can I fix it?

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.
