Wrist Detection Disables the Always On Display

New Apple Watch 11 user.


I understand that Wrist Detection benefits other features, like the Health; But why isn't there a clear fix or instruction for it disabling the coolest feature, Always On Display ?


The answer is out there, and I know I'm missing something, here.
