Q: Apple Watch activate on wrist raise show watch face isn't working
The Apple Watch setting to activate on wrist raise, specifically the show watch face as opposed to the last used app isn't working. I have it set to show watch face but it always shows me the last open app or glance or notification. I have tired turning the watch on and off but nothing. I am on the latest watch OS and latest iOS.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Watch Standard 42mm, iOS 8.3

I found what the issue is here. After I had this problem I started looking online for a solution and found my way here. I then checked my watch after a while and realized it had gone back to the watch face, so I thought maybe you had to wait a certain amount of time for it to change back to the watch face, and I was right. After testing it I found that if your screen is black for 30 seconds it will go back to the watch face upon raising your wrist. I assume they added this in case you accidentally lowered your wrist and you wanted to get back to your app immediately, but I don't know why you can't change that 30 seconds to a different time (maybe you can, I just haven't found it) or simply have it always go back to the watch face. But anyways, problem solved.
