How to fix black screen on Apple Watch SE 2?

iWatch screen is black when I rotate my wrist to wake it or tap on the screen to wake it. No matter how many times I do either is remains black, screen comes back if I push circle knob and the back out of settings or if I push longer flat button and back out of it. This started with the last update. How do you fix this?

Did you already try to force restart your watch by pressing and holding the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back?


If this does not work, unpair the watch and connect it again, setting it up as a new device without using the latest backup:
