Emoji watch face bug on watchos 8.3

Has any other one noticed that the Watch freezes randomly on watch face page on watchos 8.3 on an Apple Watch 7? It needs to be hard rebooted. Doesn’t happen on any other watch face and never happened on previous software releases.

Thank you very much for the reply. Unfortunately none of it one helpful. I tried restoring many times both recovering from backup (using also different ones) and setting the watch up as new, without backup recovery. In each case the watch showed the same problem. After some time the hour page stays still showing the same hour and minutes and the watch stops responding at all. It really seams a bug of 8.3 version.

I think they are not aware of the problem. If only there was a way of reporting bug directly to Apple. Both Watch os and iOS gathers info about systems errors and crash automatically, but I think that as we need to change the watch face and as emoji watchface is not that popular, they may not have enough diagnostic reports to be aware of the problem…
