Your smartwatch screen is frozen or not responding to touches
Restart your watch—that fixes a frozen screen almost every time. Hold the power button until you see the power menu, then choose Restart. If that doesn't work, make sure the screen isn't locked.
A frozen smartwatch screen just needs a restart. We'll restart the watch, check if the screen is locked, and make sure nothing is stuck in the background. That fixes it almost immediately.
