Hello.
My Apple Watch has stopped waking when I raise my wrist. I have double-check the settings. I have powered down/up my watch.
Any ideas?

Hello emla153,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. What is the exact watchOS 9 version is running on your Apple Watch? Here's how to identify it: Get information about Apple Watch - Apple Support
To get started, check this out:
Wake the Apple Watch display
By default, you can wake the Apple Watch display in these ways:
- Raise your wrist. Your Apple Watch sleeps again when you lower your wrist.
- Tap the display or press the Digital Crown.
- Turn the Digital Crown upward.
If you don’t want your Apple Watch to wake when you raise your wrist or turn the Digital Crown, open the Settings appon your Apple Watch, go to Display & Brightness, then turn off Wake on Wrist Raise and Wake On Crown Rotation.
Tip: To temporarily prevent your Apple Watch from waking when you raise your wrist, use theater mode.
If your Apple Watch doesn’t wake when you raise your wrist, make sure you selected the proper wrist and watch orientation. If your Apple Watch doesn’t wake when you tap the display or press or turn the Digital Crown, it may need charging.
