Anyone annoyed that crossing your arms kicks off the customize watch face on the AW? With the 5 I have AOD on and raise wrist to wake turned off and this isn’t happening.

This makes sense, so you have to touch the screen to activate it, otherwise it will stay in AOD mode? Where is raise to wake function in the OS again?

You can leave the Crown Up enabled so you can turn the crown or tap the screen. I really like this setup.

FWIW, I am at 11.5 hours off the charger and at 83% battery remaining. 7 of this is in Theater Mode while I slept but still.. this could be ahead of 75% remaining after 12 hours with my AW4.

That's happened to me since the original, first Apple Watch. I've gotten used to being careful when I cross my arms so as not to activate it like that.
 
Do you have "Cover to Mute" enabled? Maybe arm crossing would be detected as a cover instead of a tap?

I tried it ~20 times with AOD and raise to wake on and it went to Customize once. The other times, I'm pretty sure it muted.

I do have cover to mute enabled. I have had that enabled in the past with the 4 and my arms still kicked off the Customize screen.
