My Apple Watch 12 (I think) stopped displaying the time when I turn my wrist. Will only show time when I tap it. Also does not show incoming phone calls. Setting to display is on. Please help. Thx!

Assuming things like "Do Not Disturb", "Theater Mode", etc. settings are OK, 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:

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