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

Follow the steps listed in: How to restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If the first step solves your problem, there is no need to go to the second step.
