You should not be required to enter a password on your watch every time you check the time. You need to unlock your watch after you put it on, and you are good until you take the watch off. Unlocking your watch can be done by entering the passcode on the watch, or unlocking your iPhone. I have mine setup to unlock using my iPhone, and rarely have to actually enter the passcode on the watch. Been doing it that way since I got my first watch in 2015.
