Apple Watch
Hello
My Apple Watch doesn’t respond to touch. Every few days it just locks and I can’t access anything. I restart it a few times and sometimes it’ll work again but a lot of times it doesnt.

If all settings normal but behaviour is irrational there is a progressive hierarchy of remedies. Hopefully you will not need to go to the end of the list.
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, while it is restarting Force Restart the paired iphone Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)
You may also want to make sure the software on the watch and iphone are both up to date to the same level. Updates are in pairs.
