Always on not working. Watch also not switching on when wrist is raised. Tapping on the screen lights it up.

Any idea if this is a bug our if I may be doing something odd. Tried all the settings available.

Do you mean watchOS 11 beta 3? You mentioned that you "tried all the settings available," but it's worth calling out specifically what you should check, assuming that the watch model you are using supports Always On:

Press Side Button to bring up Control Center and make sure Theater Mode is not on. The button is solid orange when on.
Also in Control Center, make sure that Low Power Mode is not on. The battery percentage button is solid yellow when LPM is on.
Make sure Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On is on.
Also in Display & Brightness, make sure Wake on Wrist Raise is on.

If you've confirmed all of these things and you still believe Always On is not activating as expected, please file a Feedback with a sysdiagnose from the watch.
