Apple Watch sleeps on slight twist of wrist.

Hi, I have read this issue many times on this thread but it still persists. The watch sleeps on the slightest of wrist movement even after tapping to wake it. This is really inconvenient in many situations.


It should stay on for 70 seconds regardless the wrist movement if tapped to open. That’s the whole point of the setting in the first place.

Please look into this issue.


Thanks.
