Screen turns off on wrist lower

When waking the display by raising your wrist (with that setting enabled), it will stay awake for a few seconds without further interaction.

The display can also be set to stay awake for up to either 15 or 70 seconds. This applies when the screen is either tapped on to wake it or is tapped on after being woken by raising your wrist (with that setting enabled).

Regardless of the setting and how the screen is woken, it is normal for the display to sleep if you lower your wrist before it is due to sleep automatically.

This is EXACTLY what is happening to my watch.

updated from 3.1 to 3.2 last night and it WILL NOT stay on when my wrist twist.

As a professional cycle instructor the ONLY reason I went with this watch was the ability to have the face stay illuminated for the longer duration.

Apple needs to fix this ASAP. I will be calling tomorrow and see if I can get a 3.1 replacement watch sent to me (as SP recommended) - i even tried to load a backup of the watch when i was using the older iOS, but it kept the 3.2

this is ridiculous.

I am experiencing the same problem.

After watch ios 3.2 update, my watch display turns off at the slightest twist of my wrist. It is the same whether "wake to raise" is on or not.

This makes my Watch useless when cycling or exercising. It is difficult to view emails or texts and use ApplePay. The dock will not stay active. Some apps will keep the display active but others do not.

I never experienced these problems before updating to watch ios 3.2.

I have been working with AppleCare and sent feedback. I hope Apple comes up with a solution to this problem quickly.

I’m on 4.0 and it still does it. I’m glad I’m not alone. I have “raise to wake” disabled and have 70sec interval and the watch sleeps at the slightest movement. Really *****, especially when trying to use as a stopwatch. Very annoying Apple. Fix that poop.

please fix it fast , atleast listen to the customers and give one option for lower your wrist (whether we want to activate or deactivate it ), it should depend on us if we want to turn it on or off. Updated to 4.1 still no change . Its so annoying , sometimes it feels like i am just wearing black glass on my wrist .

They should really fix it , i just bought series 3 , and this is the only thing that annoys me ssssoooooooo **** Much !!!!

You are not alone.

Many days with Apple support they found it was added with theater mode in 3.2.

So if you have apple care. Call apple and request a replacement and hope it doesn't have 3.2.

My replacement came with 3.1. So now I don't have lower to sleep with raise to wake disabled.

Steve.

I have gone round and round, even sent the watch in to get "fixed"

they did not fix it.

Numerous apple techs and genius bar employees have confirmed the the issue - they confirmed it is indeed a software error from apple.

I want apple to be better than this… they have lost my trust.

Hi

It is normal for the display to sleep when you lower your wrist.

3.2.3 is now out and still no fix.

This is a really bad apple. At least add an option for "lower wrist to sleep" otherwise what is the option for how long to have it awake is for?
