My Apple Watch display doesn't light up until I press the button

My watch is always black. It does not light until I hit the button. I'd like for it to wake when I raise my hand or stay on all the time.

Watch, Settings, Display & Brightness ensure Wake on Wrist Raise is on.

Then swipe up the conteol center. Ensure Theatre (or Cinema) mode (two masks) is not lit up.
