Wake on Wrist raise

I got a replacement for my watch 4. It does not have the wake screen option on General. How can I turn OFF the wake on wrist raise. I must wear the watch overnight so that my CGM app can wake me (silently) for hypoglycemia and when the watch lights up every time I move it runs down the battery. I don’t mind having to tap the watch to wake it.

iPhone 5c, iOS 10

Use Apple Watch sleep tracking without alarm on watch I can’t believe this isn’t fixed yet. I have seen multiple questions with hundreds of Me-Toos regarding this: HOW can I disable the wake up alarm on my apple watch, so that I only get it on my iPhone, without losing the ability to use my Apple Watch for sleep tracking? I have just overslept because the Apple Watch only vibrated, which is not enough for me to wake up to. Of course to even have a wake-up sound play on the watch you would have to disable silent mode each time before going to bed, which is another dumb feature. The only solution I see is disabling sleep on the watch but then that would disable SLEEP TRACKING, the ONLY feature that keeps me wearing it to bed.

Change sleep screen watch face There are many things I really like about the Apple Watch but one thing that drives me crazy. With Sleep focus on and Sleep Screen toggles ON, my watch is dark with no display. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I can tap the display to see what time it is which works as expected. Great feature. What I hate is the simplified watch face display. Ignore the blurriness in the photo. It’s really confusing when I’m half-asleep and very easy to misread as, in this case, 4:54. There does not seem to be a way to change the watch face for this particular use case with Sleep Focus activated and Sleep Screen ON. Is there a way to change this watch face? Can Apple add another option with a smaller watch face that does wrap? [Edited by Moderator]

Wake on Wrist Raise not working on Apple Watch series 10 I have tried everything including turning theatre mode off, I just can’t figure it out. My software update is 11.0.1 so it’s up to date. Wrist orientation if fine , it’s set on phone and watch, I’ve turned it off and on even reset. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Have you looked under Display & Brightness? That's were the feature is for me.

Also, putting the Watch in Theatre mode works.
