Apple watch

When I double click the side of the watch I keep getting the Apps to scroll through. I want and used to get my Apple Pay but for some reason it is no longer working. It works ok on my phone but has stopped working on my watch. Can anyone help with a suggested fix for this problem?

many thanks

You may be pressing the double click too fast or too slow,you can change the double click speed here;

Set the side button speed

  1. Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Go to Accessibility > Side Button Click Speed, then choose a speed.

You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, then go to Accessibility > Side Button Click Speed.

Fieryjack,

Thanks for your quick response. I have tried this but unfortunately it has made no difference.

It was working fine until recently so I think I must have changed a setting which has stopped it working. It could be that my Apple sign-in is different on my watch to my phone so I will explore this further.

Thanks for your help.
