Apple Watch glitches for workouts and heart rate detection after iOS 26.1 update

After I did the most recent update to my Apple Watch and iPhone (26.1), my Watch glitches for all my workouts and even my heart rate detection. I’ve done all the things: cleaned the sensors, hard restart of both my watch and my phone multiple times, closing apps, making sure it’s snug against my wrist, etc. I’ve noticed that it takes about an hour after putting my watch on for it to start working slowly. Any suggestions on fixing this? I workout first thing in the morning and this is so inconvenient and frustrating to problem solve when I should be focusing on working out.
