The "button" to wake the screen is very finicky and doesn't always work, and in trying multiple times I always end up with the long press shortcut opening when I just want to see the time.
Then there is the notifications bar which opens too easily and then swiping to close apps always takes multiple tries 😑
Is there some secret to operating this that I am just not understanding?? 😔

Any resolution on this (non functioning button and quick discharge of battery), this has recently started for me.

I never had a problem at all with my side sensor ‘button’ until recently, and now, same as you, the side button doesn’t work at all and my battery is discharging in about 48 hours when it used to last approx 6 days.

Maybe their is oil on the sensor.. Try cleaning with isopropyl alcohol
Have you tried a restart or shutdown?

This is the description that worked for me. You have to get your skin into the depression or it won't register. So push a bit harder to make sure you get into the indent. The other pinching tips etc didn't work for me. Thanks for the help.
Until I saw this message I wanted to toss my new watch off a roof and I've only had it two days. Worst design ever and the instructions don't help. One video or drawing could sort this out for so many annoyed people
