Apple watch not working as intended since IOS update

Ever since I have updated my watch to latest IOS, it does not activate when I raise my wrist to see time, or when there is an incoming message or call. I need to tap the watch face to have it come to life. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5
