Hey,
I noticed a weird thing today on my AWS7.. I updated the watch a couple of days ago to WOS11 and everythino (besides some heavy battery drain) was just fine.. but since today, the raise to glance feature seems to be delayed at best.. It‘s like it has become less sensitive or the processor suddenly became too slow.. and sometimes, the screen lights up Super abruptly, without much of a smooth transition like it used to. Is this something that you guys noticed too on your Series 7 maybe? Are they trying to ruin our previously perfectly fine watches again to make us buy the new one? Or is this because my battery is down to 82%? I just don’t understand why it just started happening..
 
Try rebooting the watch.
I did, I even wiped and reinstalled it from a backup. Nothing changed. It‘s tricky to pinpoint it, it just feels a bit laggy now with the raise to wake feature. Also sometimes the watch faces don’t smoothly fade up built abruptly skipping the wake animation just „cut in“ if quickly raise the arm back and forth. I‘m not exactly sure anymore if watch os 10 had a different kind of animation there, where just the opacity of watch faces faded up, whereas Now, text also seems to scale up a bit, and if you raise you arm quickly, that scale animation gets skipped somehow, leading to this abrupt impression… hm
