Why can't I access settings on my Apple Watch SE 2?

Yesterday I purchased the Apple Watch SE 2, everything was fine until today I tried to access the watch settings and I had to press countless times to open my "Settings" later when trying to access "General" it wouldn't open. I can swipe up-down, left-right, but when I want to open an app I can't. I turn it off and opened it twice after which I resorted to resetting it but nothing changed. Please help me...

Did you try to force restart 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 would be the next step:
