My Apple watch suddenly stopped waking when I raise my wrist. The display and brightness setting IS set to "wake when wrist is raised". Is there another setting that might have gotten changed by accident?

Check to see if you may have accidentally activated Theater Mode. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to Control Center. Check to see if the icon of the two theater masks is turned on.


This is turned off.
