Apple Watch Touchscreen not responding

I have a Series 6 GPS and my screen has stopped coming on. I'm suspecting the 8.5.1 update caused this behavior. I'm curious if you updated recently.

I found that putting it on the charger sometimes causes the screen to start working again. I know the battery wasn't dead because after putting it on the charger for a few seconds the battery was at 76%. And when the watch screen came on it was at the watch face as opposed to the Apple logo as if it rebooted.

I also notice that although the screen is off the watch is still working. If I check my iPhone it sees the watch connected. I also feel vibration alerts from the watch.

Is anyone else experiencing similar behavior?

Have a full system reboot by holding the crown and side button for around ten seconds.

I am having the same issue. My issue started right as the update came out. I couldn't use the touch screen. It wouldn't let me put in my pin. I did a hard reset, then reset from my phone, then another hard reset on the watch. I even uninstalled, updated the watch on my phone, then tried another reset. My screen is still unresponsive. The watch works except for the touch screen. I can use Siri, see the time but it won't respond to my touch.

My issue was initially intermittent but became permanent. I ended up sending my watch in to Apple. Still waiting to receive it back.

If your watch is out of warranty there is a service program for some Series 6 watches. Check out Apple Watch Series 6 Service Program for Blank Screen Issue - Apple Support for more information.

Did the reboot and always on still does not function
