Apple watch not responding to touch

I haven't used my watch in a while but I decided to start wearing it again. When I go to click on buttons, it takes multiple tries. For example, while typing in my passcode, when I click the number it clearly registers on the screen that I clicked it, but it takes multiple tries for it to work. This is very frustrating as I have to click on buttons 5-10 times for it to work. I don't think my touch screen is broken, as it responds to my touch, just doesn't actually open apps I press. This was never an issue before. Also- I force restarted my watch and it did not solve the problem. My watch is also not in water lock mode. I also just updated it as I thought that may be the problem but it still didn't solve it. Please help!
