Check to see if you have theatre mode turned on in the control centre.

Watch will not turn on when I raise my wrist. I updated my watch this week. Every since then, it will not turn on when I raise my wrist. I have to touch it now and I would rather have it turn on when I raise my wrist. Can anything be done to correct this?
