My Watch Face Isn't Always Displaying When it Should

Most of the time it works as expected. The watch face comes on when I twist my wrist towards me. But it seems like more and more often the screen remains black to the point I give up and click the home button. No, the watch isn't in DND or Goodnight modes. And then at times my arm can be resting on my desk and all I have to do is slightly turn my arm towards me while my arm remains on my desk. Does anyone know what might be going on?
 
It isn't a perfect science. And I notice some faces work better than others. If you feel it's worse than it should be you could back up data in the Galaxy App and reset the phone. Every smart watch I have owned has been a little sporadic though Galaxy does seem better than a lot of them.
