Wake on raising of wrist

Apple watch will not display when I raise my wrist. I have toggled the wake option on my phone and watch. I have also checked if the theater mode is on, it isn’t. Any other suggestions?


Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
