Hi
There is no user setting for adjusting touchscreen sensitivity or the level of sensitivity to wrist movements.
It may help to calibrate your Apple Watch, including resetting any existing calibration data. Calibration teaches your Apple Watch how your arm movements relate to your stride lengths at different speeds when you are walking and/or running. It does this, during outdoor walk and/or outdoor run workouts that are recorded via the Workout app, by comparing data from the accelerometer with GPS (Location Services) data.
To calibrate your Apple Watch - and to reset existing calibration data - follow the instructions here:
- Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support
- Resetting your calibration data can be equally as helpful for Series 2 & 3 models and will not erase your Activity history.
You may otherwise wish to turn off the feature that wakes the the screen upon raising your wrist:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Wake Screen > turn off Wake Screen on Wrist Raise.
