How to activate wrist movement

After the new software update for iPhone and I watch I am now unable to use wrist movement to show the time and display on my watch, does anyone have any ideas how to rectify this problem? Many thanks

Hi


The following steps may help:


Check that Theatre Mode / Cinema Mode is not enabled on your Apple Watch:


Check your Wake Screen settings:

  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Wake Screen > check that Wake Screen on Wrist Raise is enabled.


Check your watch orientation settings (which tell your Apple Watch which way up and which way around you are wearing it):

  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Watch Orientation.
