Apple watch keeps asking for passcode

After getting my Apple Watch 10, the watch will ask for passcode several times a day. I’ve never had that problem with all my other watches…

I wear and use the watch the same way I always do.

Apple Watch Series 10, watchOS 11

Had the same issue when my apple watch updated to 11.1, as have a number of my co-workers. The issue is that the apple watch is paired with an iOS device that requires a complex password (special character or letter) and the watch does not support that. You get stuck in a perpetual "enter new password" loop, and there is nothing you can do. Hopefully Apple comes out with a fix for a complex password and not just a numeric one.
