Why is my Apple Watch SE not detecting my wrist?

After the WatchOS 11 update my wrist detection stop working so every time i open apple watch i must enter the code. And the same is with the heart beat, when i want to measure my beat i just dont measure. I tried to wear the watch very tight a i dont have any tattoos. Is there any way to fix it?

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 again?


If this does not work, unpairing the watch and connecting it again to your iPhone, setting the watch up as a new device would be the next step:
