Series 5 slow raise to wake / touch response slow

[MyAppleWorld]

Tried out the series 5 in store today - very disappointed with the always on display. There is a lag when you raise to wake it up fully or tapping the screen. Previous watches woke up instantly as if it sensed your finger approaching!

same in the video reviews too!

also such a shame you can’t click a complication when the always on display mode is on

I don't find this to be the case with my new Series 5 SBSS on OS6, and I still have my S4 SS on OS5 to compare to. I did find a couple watches in the store that were apparently running their demo mode which caused them not to respond.

I’ve been noticing this lagginess with my new 5 as well. Sometimes I have to tap on the screen several times before it’ll wake up.

Since updating my 4 often requires several taps before waking. Was not an issue before the update.

My screen has been slow to come in, sometime requiring several taps or a push of a button. And the raise to wake rarely works anymore

I noticed after I installed 6.1 Beta 1, tap to wake almost wake instantly compared to 6 where there will be delay before the screen lights up.

I'm the opposite - I find the rise to wake almost too sensitive? AW5 SSG 44m WatchOS 6.0

Yeah there sometimes is an up to 3 second lag on 6.0. I hope apple will fix it. I have raise to wake disabled, because with always on display you do not need it. Very happy with my first Apple Watch otherwise!

Same. Noticed it more with the new sundial face.

I spoke too soon. I have noticed, with AOD OFF a couple times a flick of the wrist didn't activate the screen and it takes a couple taps. Software glitch I hope they fix

Same here with my S4.

Usually one tap for mine but there have been multiple times when it’s taken two or three.

This video shows the issue perfectly

The series 4 wakes up faster every single time

Is it possible for AOD to be always dimmed no matter if i turn my wrist ?

Yes, you need to disable raise to wake. I also disabled wake on crown up, because that got triggered accidentally as well. Now it looks and works like a normal watch unless i tap the screen or press a button, very nice stealth mode!

So turning raise to wake off keeps it dim at all times unless tapped, correct?

Yes

Where do I find “raise to wake” on the iPhone AW app?

 

[gymratjudy]

Yes

Ok, thanks. I tried it and don't really like it because the screen just looks to dim to me. (old eyes)
