I have my Apple Watch 5 set to always on so I don’t have to tap it. That stopped working a few months ago. How can I fix?

Make sure you are not in Theater mode and have the wrist orientation set correctly.

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 just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
