It was on my wrist when suddenly generating random numbers to unlock the watch and unable to stop which then caused so many wrong passcode now stating wait 8 hours to unlock.

Hasn't happened since the time I put the watch in my pocket and when I took it out it was randomly putting in passcodes (until it finally locked itself out for 8 hours). I'm assuming updating the software fixed the problem BUT haven't put the watch in my pocket while walking so don't know.
How did you solve the issue?
Never put your watch in your pocket or attempt to clean it without powering it down.
