wrist gestures won't turn off?

[Blacklac]

Is this a common issue or...? I don't want to reset it, but its not a huge deal.

Setting I'm missing? Lol. I obviously disabled it in Settings.

Can you imagine how many times the screen turns on during a night of drinking... Unreal...

I think you're confused about which settings do what. The Wrist Gesture setting allows you to toggle through your notifications by flicking your wrist upward or downward. It doesn't have anything to do with turning the screen on. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R0qbB4hVbU

There are two settings that impact your screen being on. Ambient Mode will keep your display dimly lit continuously. Tilt to Wake Screen turns your screen on when it is off if you lift your arm and turn it towards your face.. Tilt to Wake is probably the one that you're wanting to disable if you don't want your screen turning on based on the position of your wrist. Ambient Mode and Tilt to Wake settings are both found in the settings of the Android Wear app on your smartphone.

Yes, tilt to wake. Thank you. Glad I asked before just resetting the watch... Lol

You're welcome! Disabling tilt to wake should give you significantly more battery life.

My watch keeps lighting up intermittently when I move my arm. I have turned off the motion control on my watch. I'm not sure what else to do.

Thank you for the information, however, ambient mode and tilt to wake are not in the settings on my android app.

It on the watch itself
