I have a Watch8 and Ultra (2024) and when I turn off sleep mode, the "raise to wake" function is turned off. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a known issue?
This has worked so far. Rather than setting up a routine, I prefer to turn modes on and off. To create an "Awake" mode, open the Modes and Routines app. Go to "modes". You'll see several default modes: sleep, theater, driving, etc. Tap "Add Mode". Give it a name (ie, "Awake") and choose an icon. In "other actions", choose "Raise wrist to wake" and set it to "On". (You can add other things if you want. )
To make it easy to toggle between modes, I added 2x1 widgets to my home screens to turn these modes on and off. I put the Sleep mode widget next to the Wake mode widget.
This is important: instead of turning off Sleep mode, just turn on Wake mode.
What's interesting is after I turn on Wake mode, then if I turn OFF wake mode, the "Raise wrist to wake" setting will remain ON! So, this setting will obviously remain on whatever the most recently used mode was set to.
