The display does not light up when I raise my wrist. I think it used to do that!
Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8
First, check if this is actually enabled.
On your Watch, open Settings and go to Display & Brightness > Wake on Wrist Raise - make sure that's turned on.
Try turning it off and on again for good measure.
Also, I'm not entirely sure how the Watch detects someone raising their wrist, but it might have something to do with your height, so make sure that's up to date.
I think the problem was an application that was turned on. I don't know the name of it, but an icon of two laughing masks appeared at the top of the watch face. When I turned that off, the watch returned to normal behavior. I haven't figured out what the application is.
Thanks for your reply!
That is theatre mode,swipe up on the watch face to turn it off;
Thanks! Now I understand what happened!
