Hello Scrapwpod,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I am understanding is your Apple Watch face won't come on when raising your arm, correct? Let's take a look into this!
Let's check and ensure theater mode isn't on before going to into troubleshooting steps.
If theater mode is on, this will deactivate the Apple Watch face from turning on when raised. When the Apple Watch face is on, swipe up to access the Control Center. Scroll through the list to check for theatre mode:
Use Control Center on Apple Watch
If theater mode is not currently active, power the Apple Watch and iPhone off/on

If the issue persists, please don't hesitate to post a reply!
Cheers!
