watch series 7 keeps locking
Has anyone experienced this?
every time I raise the watch it asks for the passcode.
i average about 30 seconds when it’s inactive when it needs the passcode again.

Apple Watch Series 7
So I found my phone’ OS was running one behind (15.1)
I updated this and unpaired and re-paired the watch again.
the only thing I done differently was set the watch up as a “new watch” not from a saved back up from my older watch.
seems to working perfectly now.
My watch keeps doing the same thing as stated above. I wear mine on top of tattoos. Could this be a reason why it keep locking it self? I've tried to restart and have paired an unaired and I still have the same problem.
Apple says;
Permanent or temporary changes to your skin, such as some tattoos, can also impact heart rate sensor performance. The ink, pattern and saturation of some tattoos can block light from the sensor, making it difficult to get reliable readings.
And read here;
So I eventually had to take mine to the apple store because it continued to play up.
they ran a diagnostic on it and it came back without any faults and told me it was 99% the tattoo it was sitting on top of causing it.
So I wore the watch on the opposite wrist(without tattoos) for a day and it worked without any problems.
the best advice they could give me was to turn off the passcode on the watch.
Which isn’t great because it means you can not use it for Apple Pay or for unlocking your phone when wearing your mask.
to be honest I would prefer my series 3.
also because it’s an issue with wrist detection, with passcode turned off when at the gym it constantly pauses any workouts.
really disappointed with this watch.
The watch asks for a passcode when it loses wrist detection.
Is the watch snug on your wrist?.
Is the watch being worn on top of any tattoos?.
