My watch seems to be frozen!

My watch is frozen in very large font and nothing I do will change it.

I was able to turn off zoom and tried the double tap on the screen, but the screen was still frozen. I then held down both the round and flat switches until it turned off. The Apple Logo appeared but only loaded half the watch face then stated my passcode was incorrect and to try again in 15 minutes. Note that I had not even tried to enter a passcode. Finally after the 15 minutes passed it asked me for my passcode and everything worked. Thanks for the suggestions though.
