Apple Watch keeps locking

Hi,

My apple watch keeps locking and I have done all the usual fix :

1 - Wrist detection on

2 - Turning Wrist detection off and on again

3 - unpair / re-pair

4- unpair / reset / new setup

5- I have no Tattoo

6 - Restart the watch

The only time where it works is when the watch is coming off the charger and is at 100%. The wrist detection and phone unlock will work perfectly...until the watch goes down to 99% and then it will lock and ask for the pwd each time again. Any one else has experienced this ?

My apple watch series 8 keep locking while I am wearing it - wrist detection is ON. Ever since I got the apple watch series 8 in December 2022, It will lock while on my wrist. There will be a few days where it does not do this, but then there are days like today where it just locks over and over even tho I am wearing it and unlock it frequently. I have already tried unpairing/re-pairing, turning it off and on, resetting to factory etc and it STILL does this. I'm not sure what the next step is?

Apple Watch 8 keeps locking while it’s on my wrist This started today. I checked settings to make sure that wrist detection was on. I cleaned the sensors with micro fiber cloth. I rebooted the watch and iPhone. I repositioned the watch to insure good contact. The locking persists. I think that I’m out of options. HELP

Watch Ultra 2 keeps locking itself Just bought an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and it keeps locking itself whilst on my wrist, especially when I have a timer active. I've done everything that has been advised and Wrist Detection is ON. I'm using the same strap as I did on my previous Watch Ultra, so I know it's not to loose. Has anyone else experienced this?
