Apple Watch 7

Hello. My Apple Watch 7 has stopped waking when I turn my wrist. The setting are correct and it’s on the right wrist. I have updated the latest software. It’s less than a year old. Any ideas? Thank you.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 9

You're welcome. It's most often the Theater Mode somehow becoming engaged that causes this. Glad it helped you.

Try and restart the watch and the paired iPhone to see if the problem is persisting

Also, from your watch face, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and look for the two mask icon. If it is turned on, turn it off. That's Theater Mode and would stop wake on wrist movement.
