Apple Watch Series 1 - Display issue

My series 1 watch only displays when I pres the crown. It does not automatically display the time etc when I tilt the face towards me - as it once did.

Anyone experience this or have a fix?

First, make sure that Theater Mode is off:

Use Control Center on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup:
