Screen doesn't always turn on

[Crell]

Hello, peoples.

I've a new Versa.  Overall I'm still deciding if I like it, but one thing that I find irritating is the screen's ability to turn on when I rotate my wrist.

On my old Pebble Time it would only sometimes turn on the backlight when I looked at it, but, but it had two saving graces: The screen was always displaying something even if not lit up, and I could snap my wrist a few times to convince it to turn on.

So far, my Versa is only sometimes turning on when I try to look at it, despite being several years newer than the Time.  But it has not persistent screen and the "shake your wrist" hack doesn't seem to work here.

What's the magic motion to get it to turn on at the right time more readily?  Or is there a way to make it more sensitive, or something along those lines?

I don't know if this fits your problem, but hold in left side button a few seconds; look for 'Screen Wake'; tap to toggle between "Auto" and "Manual".  You want Auto.

Thanks, but it's already set to Auto.
