Apple Watch 10.2 update - Wrist Detection is NOT WORKING on Apple Watch series 9 45mm aluminum

I updated Apple Watch this morning and wrist detection is not working, causing me to have to unlock my Apple Watch every time my wrist turns. I turned off Wrist Detection so that I will not be bothered with it but my watch was working prior to the update and it is relatively new, (bought last month). Please fix, Apple!

Wrist detection and workout auto-pause issue on Apple Watch Series 6 I have been have issues for a while (2years) with my Apple Watch constantly pausing my workout. I will begin my workout and as soon as I put my arm down it pauses.i have to press resume just to repeat this multiple times. I ended up not wearing it for the last two years since there is no point if it can’t record my workout. I have troubleshooted the following: Auto Pause is OFF I have reset my watch and updated both my phone ( Apple 13 pro Max ) and watch with latest software. I cannot see any wrist detection option, under “General” watch band is snug to my wrist anyone have any suggestions? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple watch keeps pausing during workouts My watch keeps pausing constantly during workouts. It fits snugly and auto-pause is turned off. I read in earlier posts to go to General and make sure wrist-detection is on, but I can't find anything that says Wrist Detection. I have an Apple Watch Series 6, 11.3.1. Is there anything else I can try?
