Apple Watch Screen goes black when touched

My Wife and I bot got Apple Watch Sports - all was fine for about a month now. A few days ago she told me hers was doing funny things. Screen appears as normal when arm raised, but when you go to touch screen to go to glances or check notification it goes black. touch screen and watch face re-appears as normal. Push crown for apps and try to touch an app... screen goes dark, same if you go to the friend button and try to message.


I thought her battery was dead or dying, but showed 53%. I put it on the charger and it works perfectly... Go figure.


Next day my watch starts doing the exact same thing - put it on charger and all operates fine. (Mine was at 71% charge)


Today and as I am typing mine is doing it again... I have 76% battery life, but charger is at home - so did a hard reboot and that did it fixed for now, but I'd bet in another few days
