Watch 5 needs to be unlocked twice after wearing

[waqqas31]

Hello,

This is not the first time I am posting about this, but this problem has become acute (again.)

My Galaxy Watch 5 BT 44mm running OneUI 5 (and fully-updated), does the following:

1. If I enter the PIN as soon as I put it on, within a few minutes, it will re-lock itself and require me to enter the PIN again.

2. If I wear it then wait a few minutes to enter the PIN, then once is enough.

The problem with #2 is that if any notifications, etc, come in before I unlock it, I will not be able to see them in detail and will have to unlock the watch at that time anyway.

Is this happening to anyone else?

The only apps I have installed beyond stock apps are:

1. Google Wallet

2. Google Messages

3. Stocard (loyalty card app)

4. Facer (Watch Faces)

5. Google Assistant

The watch is paired with my S23 Ultra.

When I first upgraded my watch software to OneUI 5, this problem disappeared.  Then slowly it started coming back, and it became a lot worse when I enabled Touch Sensitivity.

Any helpful insight would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know what sensor or software samsung uses but their wrist detection is very sensitive.

I have the watch 6 classic now and previously, I had the watch 5 pro and several times a day, the watch would lock itself as if it detected that I am not wearing it.

I also have a tattoo sleeve which drives the watch crazy.

Make sure you wear the watch snuggly and maybe you can try turning off wrist detection. See if that helps for the lock screen. I know it helps for notifications on the watch.

Well, I primarily did 2 things.  I changed my Samsung Health settings so that the watch is not actively tracking my Heart Rate or my Stress level, and I turned off my "Inactive time".

I also changed my watch face to one that was built-in.

After 24 hours, about 4-5 occurrences of wearing and removing the watch, and unlocking it immediately after wearing it, the re-locking phenomenon has not recurred.

Next, I will revert back to my Facer watch face and see if the old behavior returns.
