Watch Locks Up

I have a watch series 5 which was just updated to watch OS 9.0. Since I did this the watch will freeze after about 4 to 8 hours. You can't change anything, nothing works. When I move close to my iPhone the watch will eventually unfreeze. The watch is never more than 30 feet from the iPhone. Anyone seen this before or no a solution?

Why Does My Apple Watch Keep Locking? How to Fix It? Hi. I have been using Watch Ultra 2 for 5 days now, and I have noticed that while I properly wear the watch, it keeps locking. I have previously owned watch 7 and 8, and never had this issue. I have tried un-pairing/re-pairing the watch and applied the latest OS today on both iPhone and Watch (10.0.2 and 17.0.2 respectively). Any thoughts? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple watch keeps locking On my apple watch series 7, sometimes when i unlock it in the morning, it just keeps locking it self like 5 or 6 times. It runs watchOS 9.3 and it started a couple of weeks ago. It does that about every second week. After unlocking it about 5 or 6 times it stays unlocked. Pretty sure that this is a new bug introduced in watchOS 9.3.
