My timer recently stopped functioning properly. It is intermittent...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I unpaired and re-paired the watch, and the problem persists.

Apple Watch 5 timer won't work after re-pairing

I set the timer and it does not go off on time. As soon as I raise my wrist to look at the watch, it goes off. Sometimes however, it goes off on time.
I’ve been having this same issue for at least the past several months and it’s getting pretty annoying since I set timers for myself for work-related tasks.
I will set a timer for X minutes and, I’d say half the time, the alert doesn’t go off until I raise my wrist. I’ve sometimes looked down at my watch while lowered, seen the screen sit there with it showing 00:00 remaining, I’ll raise my wrist and then the timer alert goes off.
I have an Apple Watch 5 with the latest update. I unpaired the watch, and set it up again as new and still have this issue.
