APPLE WATCH GEN 5 - Wrist movement doesnt work

Hey Guys,


I have had my watch for a while. No issues. But for some reason the only way I can see the screen is by touching the screen. I used to just raise my wrist and it would active the notification or show me the time. Now that is not working and the setting seem to be all correct. Help!

Make sure Theatre Mode is not ON.

Swipe up on your Watch screen to see the Control Centre.

Theatre Mode (icon with 2 masks) should be OFF
