Some users seem to be reporting that faces don’t wake up.

Do users need to enable any specific settings to have onExitSleep called for watch faces?

Hi, it seems to have a link with the backlight on gesture

So enabling it augment the chance of having wrist move detected?

I stopped relying on onExitSleep/onEnterSleep

- it's too unreliable. Sometimes it works, but most of the time - it doesn't. I know that at least on Vivoactive4 the ONLY reliable way to trigger onExitSleep is to press the back button twice. I opened a ticket with Garmin about this: forums.garmin.com/.../bug-report---wf-onexitsleep-never-gets-called-on-gesture

Is onExistSleep supposed to be triggered by also pressing the backlight button? If not, any way to implement/code this?

I know this may vary from one watch model to another, but on my Fenix 6 the onExitSleep() method gets called reliably every time the watch is moved by using a 'gesture' movement similar to what typically turns on the backlight if so enabled. Just to be clear, it works independently of the backlight on gesture, but is triggered by a similar movement.

What I haven't experimented with is trying to also call it by pressing one of the buttons, by simply coding the onExitSleep() call into a routine that's triggered by any button press. Does anybody know if that is possible, or if the onExitSleep() method is only triggered by something internal to the watch?
