Apple Watch Ultra 2 not locking screen.

Apple watch app doesn’t allow me to ‘turn on’ passcode in watch app. Thus, Apple Watch does not Lock Screen at all. It also does not let me turn on/off wrist detection. Thanks.

Apple Watch Ultra 2, watchOS 10

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.
