Hey Rymanl,


It sounds like you're Apple Watch isn't waking when you rain your wrist.


We'd recommend trying the following steps:


  1. Open the Apple Watch app on the iPhone.
  2. Tap My Watch > Passcode. 
  3. Turn off Wrist Detection.
  4. Restart your Apple Watch and iPhone: Restart your Apple Watch Restart your iPhone

5. If the issue continues, ensure your Apple Watch is not too loose and no clothing is under the Apple Watch Wearing your Apple Watch

6. Test your other wrist to see if the same issue occurs

7. Unpair your Apple Watch and pair it again: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch


Thanks!
