How to enable raise-to-wake on a Samsung Galaxy smartwatch

A great feature on some smartwatches is the battery-saving feature known as raise to wake. It's a wonderful option to have, whether you use the always-on display option or not. By enabling this feature, you can have your watch become "active" as soon as the device senses it's been lifted. Activating the watch can show live data on your watch face or make the device ready for your input. Regardless if you want the feature always enabled or just in certain situations, changes are only a few easy steps away from either with the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone or via the watch itself.

Being able to change the behavior of your watch directly on the device is great for those times you don't have your phone with you.

  1. Open the Settings app on your watch.
  2. Scroll to the option titled Advanced and tap on it.

  3. Scroll until you see Wake-up gesture and tap it.
  4. Press the toggle beside Wake-up gesture to enable raise to wake.

Now your watch's display can be as active or inactive as you want it to be. Remember, by enabling the raise-to-wake, or wake-up gesture, your watch will become fully active once you have lifted your wrist up to look at it. At times the watch may think you are attempting to view the display even when you aren't and activate the screen. Either way, the more times the screen or watch is activated, the more battery that is consumed — food for thought.
