Another option that can also enable your Apple watch to perform more efficiently is to reboot it. For a minimum of ten seconds, hold your side buttons and digital crown, then let go. Doing this will restart your Apple Watch and increase its speed.
Closing Unnecessary Applications:
Open your dock on the Apple watch you have and find out if there are any apps you do not use or need right now to use/run in the background. If you find any such apps, close them. This is expected to increase the response speed of your Apple watch.
