Apple Watch keeps trying to power off

I want to know how to sort my Apple Watch out, ever since I’ve purchased it, it keeps trying to power off and glitching. It went through a time where it would call 112 but I turned that off but it keeps trying to power off. I rely on my watch a lot for work so I need this sorting nothing seems to work as it’s up to date can anyone help?

"Trying to power off" may need describing.

It may be drawing towards end of life.

First force restart the Watch

i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.

 

Then, although it may seem irrelevant, Force Restart the paired iphone   Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

 

If is is still misbehaving...

 

 Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

and then

Set up your Apple Watch

 If no better you may want to unpair then set up without restoring the backup.

You may also want to make sure the software on the watch is up to date.

Update your Apple Watch

 

If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, Contact Support.
