Apple Watch Ultra keeps locking while wearing over clothes!!!

Hi, my AWU2 keeps locking during activities while wearing it over clothes.

It's quite cold so I wear jacket and gloves, so its impossible to wear them on skin.

I tried wrist detection etc. nothing helps.

Its irritating to need to add passcode anytime I want to check the screen with activity details.

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?

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

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Locks while on wrist So I just received my apple watch ultra 2 and it keeps locking whenever I move my wrist. I have the milanese loop band and have it as tight as I can possibly get it. I've tried to turn the wrist detection on and off and it still locks even if I'm wearing it. It is running watchOS 11 and my phone is running iOS 18. Any ideas on how to fix this would be great.
