Apple Watch 10 time disappeared

The time on my Apple Watch 10 disappeared. I did have a weird thing happening earlier, but don’t know if it’s relevant. Without my taking my watch off, it needed my passcode again. After entering the code, it was pretty unresponsive. I had to repeat pressing crown and control center buttons. After a delay, it went a little crazy and went back and forth between the 2. Then, a few hours later, my time was just gone! I tried using the app on my iPhone, but the time WAS there. I’ve seen some old threads here and even tried them, but they weren’t relevant.

First, do a force restart: hold the Side button + Digital Crown together for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple: Restart Apple Watch

After restarting, check Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Always On. Series 10 supports Always On, which should keep the time visible when your wrist is down. Apple: Always On Display
