I purchased a new Galaxy Watch 46mm and everything is working good except for the wake-up gesture. It probably seems like 1/30 times I can get it to wake up, otherwise not. I looked in the settings and the wake-up gesture is enabled and I tested turning the option off then back on, but no luck.

 

How can I fix this??

From the watch's Home screen, navigate to Settings. Swipe to and touch Advanced, and then swipe to and touch Goodnight mode. Touch the toggle switch to turn it on, and then touch Done. Make sure to turn off themode in the morning.

Hello...my watch just did an update and I've lost all my settings.   I can't seem to get the auto display to work when I turn the watch towards me.   Also it will not vibrate and light up when I get a message or call.  Please help!

I just got my watch almost 2 weeks ago. I paid almost 300.00 for a watch that won't wake up when I lift my arm, and I've gotta charge it every two days. I haven't done anything with it.  I've got 50 dollar smart watch, that's working better than this one, and the battery last longer.  I'm really disappointed in this 46mm watch.  I have a Samsung phone, tablet, and television. I thought since I love the other things I have, that this watch be a no brainer. I'm really close to returning it, and just using my cheap one.

Make sure, that your "Theatre mode" and "good night mode" is off. Go to "galaxy wearable" app in your phone. Then click on settings. Go in advanced settings and then turn off "Theatre mode" and "good night mode". After that your "wake up gesture should be ON. Now your wake up gesture in galaxy watch will work. Ok.

Make sure night time mode is "OFF". I turned mine in then the wake up would not work. I read this forum and figured the night time mode was the issue. Best of luck.
