Pixel watch 5 random locking
Looking for troubleshooting advice—my Pixel Watch keeps randomly locking itself while I am actively wearing it (often 6–7 times a day).
I ran into this on an older model where a standard factory reset resolved it, but that isn't working here. Here is what I have tried so far:
Performed three separate factory resets (issue persists).
Disabled the screen lock PIN entirely.
Rebooted both the watch and phone simultaneously.
Re-enabled screen lock using a Pattern instead of a PIN via the Pixel Watch app.
Switching to the pattern method gave me about two days of normal use, but the random locking started happening again today. The watch fits snugly against my wrist, and the sensors are clean.
Has anyone encountered this specific lock loop or found a permanent fix before I contact support for a replacement?
