Hello there. Ever cense upgrading to watch OS 11.2, (unintentionally) my watch will no longer go to sleep when I put my wrist down. I've made sure sleep on wrist down was on in accessibility/voiceover and I even tried resetting my watch. I've tried all the things, including rebooting the watch, resetting to factory settings and still no luck. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm running the series 8. I hope my motion sensor is not broken and I really don't wanna have to get a new watch nor go to an apple stor to get this checked out. I'm hoping it's a software issue and not hardware. If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be very greatful. PS, all of my orientation settings are correct as well. I'm unsure of what is going on here.

Refresh
Check refresh to see if is off. Maybe the watch is on all the time.
What exactly is meant by sleep with wrist down
I tried having this enabled with the intent to keep my watch from talking whenever the darned thing gets bumped. To me, sleep means staying asleep until one presses the stem, or it should be. Yes, I've been dealing with this issue since I got my watch almost three years ago, and have been stuck with the realization that even accidentally touching it will wake the darned thing up. I thought that having sleep with wrist down set for on would fix that. But, such is not the case, and think this is the one downside with these Apple watches. There needs to be a way to make it so it will only respond when "asleep" to pressing the stem, just like with the wake or power button on the iPhone.
It's not your watch
I was having the same issue until they fixed it in the Watch OS 11.3 beta so hang on a little longer and you'll be happy when it is released to the public.
oooh awesome
I'm very glad it isn't the watch, was gettin' a bit worried there for a sec. I'll try and see about the refresh setting if that makes any difference. All though if it is a problem with 11.2, I have no issues waiting until 11.3 comes out.

The RC might come out next week. You could always use that. Do not have any issues with 11.2. watch 9.
Chatty Watch
Yes I noticed Apple Watch doens't like to go to sleep any more. It seems a software issue to me. I've had Apple Watch since the original, and this is a recent change. Glad to see Julian's post. In the iterim I sometimes put my palm over the screen, same gesture as to Ignore Call, and this settles it down.
