Why suddenly is my Apple Watch series 7 black? I have checked settings it’s always on I didn’t do anything different when I woke this morning and it’s fully charged. It just won’t show watch face unless I tap on it.

Why suddenly after putting my apple 7 series watch on this morning is my watch face black even when I move my wrist? Battery is charged, always on setting is on and I even did a reset still won’t show clock face.

Tap the watch so that the watch face shows and then swipe up from the bottom to bring up the Control Center to make sure that the watch is not in Theater Mode.
