Anyone else have the issue where their watch face changes randomly several times a day. I have a favorite watch face, but it seems every time I check the time, it’s defaulted to come other random watch face. I really wish it would stay on the watch face I choose. There must be a way to lock the watch face, short of deleting every other watch face that is. Anyone else have this issue?

P.S. I wear short sleeve shirts.
 
You mean, you can’t lock it on a default face?
I have several faces but I’ve never preferred one over the other so I never know what to expect to see when I touch it. (I do not use raise to wake)
Wouldn’t you think being able to hold a default face kind of, AW 101?
You can’t? Really? S
 
AW face stays the same. AFAIK, the only way to change it when tapping the screen is by swiping.

I’m assuming you’re possibly tapping in a more swipey fashion rather than directly on the screen with no movement. If you don’t already, I’d encourage you to use Raise to Wake.

I might be wrong, but I don’t know of a way for the AW to auto change between faces.
 
Watch face shouldn't be changing randomly. Either 1) you are accidentally swiping (unlikely) or 2) there is a problem with your touchscreen.
The only "face" that should change is if you have a photo face, which shuffles through the latest photos on your phone.
 
If you never intend on changing faces, could you just remove the additional faces from the Watch app on your iPhone. This would prevent there being anything to swipe to? Not ideal, especially if you want to have multiple faces. But a solution if you only care to have a single watch face.
