Scripting News: Apple software is broken, part 20299

I put the watch in my pocket.#
When I take it out it says: "Wrong passcode, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to Passcode, then tap Re-enable Passcode Entry to try again." Note I never entered a passcode. I'm guessing it interprets my movement as the watch is in my pocket as a human entering a passcode. #
I open the Apple Watch app on my iPhone. Locate the Re-enable Passcode entry, tap it. Nothing happens. Tap again. Nothing. Again, again. Nothing, nothing. #
Now what?#

Believe it or not the watch has to be erased and restored from a backup. I might get around to doing that in September or October. #
Hold on, after powering off and on, I get a new message. #
Epilog: After 59 minutes, it let me enter the password. Moral of the story -- never put the watch in your pocket. #
