Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch, go to Display & Brightness, then turn on Wake on Wrist Raise and Wake On Crown Rotation.


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.
