Sweep up on your watch face to Control Panel and see if you accidentally turned on Airplane or Theater Mode.

Wake Screen not working. The "wake screen" is not working when I raise my wrist. I checked the settings and the watch is set at "Wake on Wrist Raise" I don't know what else to do at this point. Any suggestions?

Apple Watch does not wake My watch does not wake when I lift my wrist. I have gone to *setting, *general, *wake screen I have toggled on and off and on again. Those things have not worked. A week ago my watch was waking upon lifting my wrist. Now I have to touch the screen to get it to wake.
