How can I stop my Apple Watch for asking passcode repeatedly?

After upgrading the OS, my watch asks me for my passcode all the time. How do I stop this?

Did you 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?


Is "Wrist Detection" still enabled in Settings/Passcode on your watch?

Their might something blocking wrist detection on your Apple Watch like tattoos etc you could also turn of Wrist Detection which i do not recommend since it helps you keep your information safe but if you really want to on your iPhone go into the Watch App scroll down till you see Passcode press on it then scroll down till you see Wrist Detection then toggle it off
