Apps Apple Pay on Watch - lock screen appears if I lower my wrist toward a reader

[jk73]

As described in the title, if trying to pay using Apple Pay on Watch, the lock screen often appears if I have to lower my wrist toward a reader. Is this normal or a bug? I would have thought that Apple Pay would stay on-screen for at least 5 or 10 seconds regardless of one's wrist being lowered. Thanks.

Definitely something wrong there. Is your watch somewhat loose around your wrist? If the lock screen is appearing it sounds like the watch may be a little too loose and act like it’s been removed from your wrist when you turn it upside down to pay.

That sounds very likely… was my first idea as well

Agreed, it’s losing contact with your skin.

Thanks for the replies. I'll go a little tighter and see if that solves it.
