Apple Watch 5 wake on raise function

How can I use the wake on raise function, wearing the Apple Watch on the inside of my wrist?


I have tried setting the wrong wrist, but the watch still doesn’t wake.


Thanks

Your Apple Watch was designed for the outside of your wrist. It has settings for left or right arm and Digital Crown on left or right, but not for the underside of your wrist so the sensors will not be moving in the correct orientation. It is unlikely to have full functions if you wear it on the inside.
