Apple watch

I suddenly cannot swipe up or down on my Apple Watch to access torch etc. It’s working fine but it’s almost like it’s frozen when I try and swipe… I’ve tried looking through app on my phone but cannot find why …. I recently updated to a new iPhone. Don’t know if this is the reason?

many ideas?

Force Restart your watch:


Press and hold BOTH the digital crown and elongated power buttons at the SAME TIME. Keep holding both until the screen goes dark and keep holding them both until the Apple Logo appears (takes several seconds), then let go. Sign back in when prompted and see if normal operation resumes.
