Is anyone else having issues with the watch randomly locking?

The band is not loose and sensors aren’t obstructed. Since 26.1 install, I see the “unlocking Apple Watch” randomly when accessing my phone.

Have you rebooted both watch and phone?
 
No problems with my AW Ultra 3. I am very hairy so I do shave the back of my wrist where my watch sits. Been doing this since the AW 3. Helps a lot with heart rate.
 
I also have a lot a hair on my arm and no issues with my ultra 3 so far and being I am heart patient, the heart rate function is working perfectly.
