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?

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:

How to restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

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.
