Wrist detection

Why does my watch not turn on when I raise my wrist. It seems like a problem a lot have. I was told at one store that sells your products that this happens to older people because their skin is thin. Can’t you fix this?

Make sure you are not in Theater Mode or have Do Not Disturb enabled. See:
