I can’t swipe up to open Apple Watch control center.

I can’t swipe up to open Apple Watch control center. I have rebooted and it will restore this operation but only for awhile with no apparent reason for it to stop again. Annoying!! Is there a real fix? Is Apple aware of this happening now that I see others are having the same problem?? Hope for a fix soon! Help Apple!

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.
