I follow the instructions to the letter and it doesn't work. Sometimes he does it in the early morning. It's very weird.

It may help to always use the gesture feature in the following way:

- The feature uses your watch accelerometer to pickup your arm and wrist movement to know when to turn on your backlight. The gesture feature works best if you put your arm directly in front of your chest or face. Have your watch face initially facing upward towards the sky. Rotate only your arm, rotate in place, changing the viewing angle of your watch, until you are looking directly at your Instinct.

This specific movement works most of the time. It is not perfect since it is a sensor but I hope this helps improve the feature for you.
