Stop Using “Wake on Wrist Raise”
By default, your Apple Watch will automatically “wake” when you raise your wrist. This makes it easier to check the information you need, like the time or notifications.
With that said, if you’re constantly moving your arm, your Apple Watch will wake up accidentally and waste some power. It’s best to tap your Watch’s screen when you actually need to use it.
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap on Display & Brightness.
- Disable Wake on Wrist Raise.
And that’s it. If you prefer using your Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown, go to Settings > Display & Brightness, and disable this feature. You can also use Theatre Mode if you only want to disable this temporarily.
