Any reason to as when I unlock my watch it will continuously lock itself even if I’m in the middle of replying to a sms or doing something on my watch. I must do it constantly throughout the day. I know I can always turn it off but I do use the nfc pay on it.

Is it because I’m tattooed? I remember a long time ago hearing something about that, some kind of sensor? but not sure if it applied to the screen lock

It's not the tattoo, idk why everyone is saying it is. I have no tattoos on that part of my arm, same hand. Also having constant re-locking issues as well.

After a search, I found that disabling the wrist detection option and then re-enabling it might fix it. I've done it, and so far hasn't happened again. But I am not calling it solved just yet, giving it some more time before I do. I rebooted in between toggling of that option as well.

Just because your issue wasn’t tattoo related doesn’t mean this one isn’t. It is commonly known tattoos affect the sensors so the watch thinks it’s been detached from the wrist.
