Watch is clicked for always on but raising wrist still doesn’t show face on Series 5 watch. Anyone else having issues?

See the "How to interact with your watch" section in :

Use the Always On feature with your Apple Watch Series 5 - Apple Support

What happens when you tap the display, press the Digital Crown, or press the side button?

Check to see if you have Theater mode on.

Swipe up from the bottom of the face to open the control panel.

If you see the 2 face icon on, tap it off.

I am having the same problem. My watch face now never turns on when my wrist is raised. What is the solution? Or how do we fix this issue?

thanks

I am having the same issue. It just started. It no longer automatically comes on when raising my wrist despite the "always on" being activated.

Does anyone know why or found a solution?

Thanks!

Yes, mine is the same way. I have reset it multiple time without luck. Ideas yet?

Not sure how I ended up in theater mode, but that fixed it for me.

That helped! I have no idea what “Theater Mode” is or how it got turned on. Thank you!

That fixed it for me, too! Thanks very much!
