I purchased the series 7 iwatch a couple of days ago. The watch had an software update after a day of using to IOS 8.3, since then the watch keeps locking after a few seconds of not using it and requires me to enter my passcode. I have wrist detection enabled, previously it did not lock at all unless I either locked it manually or if I had taken the watch off my wrist. Hoping someone can help me please.

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.
Wrist detection off;
Turning off wrist detection affects these Apple Watch features:
When you use Apple Pay on your Apple Watch, you’ll be prompted to enter your passcode when you double-click the side button to authorize the payment.
Some Activity measurements are unavailable.
Heart rate tracking and notifications are turned off.
Apple Watch will no longer automatically lock and unlock.
Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 and later won't automatically make an emergency call even after it has detected a hard impact fall.
