Constantly having to reset apple watch

This morning my watch did not register or notify me of any om watsapp messages and when I set my fitness goal it kept pausing. I immediately reset and it worked for a while but I am now experiencing the same issue. What should I do? What could be the problem?

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
