Greetings Rafaloko,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand your Apple Watch isn't waking when you raise your wrist.


Ensure Wake Screen on Wrist Raise is enabled on your Apple Watch. To do so, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap the My Watch tab at the bottom, then tap General > Wake Screen.


Additionally, Theater Mode can prevent the screen from waking when raising your wrist. Ensure Theater Mode isn't turned on, and that you have the correct wrist orientation configured: Turn on and wake Apple Watch - Apple Support


"If your Apple Watch doesn’t wake when you raise your wrist, make sure you selected the proper wrist and watch orientation. If your Apple Watch doesn’t wake when you tap the display or press or turn the Digital Crown, it may need charging.

Tip: If you don’t want to wake your Apple Watch when you raise your wrist, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, go to General > Wake Screen, then turn off Wake Screen on Wrist Raise. Or, to temporarily prevent your Apple Watch from waking when you raise your wrist, use theater mode."


Cheers.
