My Apple Watch is freezing, is not touch sensitive is there anything I can do to help?.

My Apple Watch is freezing and is not sensitive to touch, I tap my text message multiple times before I see my message. But honestly my watch is performing as if an update is needed. But it’s not.. any suggestions on some kind of trick!??

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.

But (if you are not using a screen protector) it may be a hardware problem. For repair & service:
