apple watch thumbs up emoji always prompts for skin tone

When selecting a thumbs up emoji on Apple Watch keyboard, it requires selecting the skin tone every time. This is not the case for other emoji's. Is this normal?

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

I have the same issue when using yellow emojis. However, I have found if I select a skin tone emoji then I no longer get prompted.


Interestingly, this problem doesn't arise on my iPhone or iPad.


Seems like someone at Apple doesn't want people using yellow emojis on their watches.
