The display does not light up when I raise my wrist. I think it used to do that!

First, check if this is actually enabled.

On your Watch, open Settings and go to Display & Brightness > Wake on Wrist Raise - make sure that's turned on.

Try turning it off and on again for good measure.


Also, I'm not entirely sure how the Watch detects someone raising their wrist, but it might have something to do with your height, so make sure that's up to date.
