I'll have to experiment with this, generally speaking I like tap to wake and I even toggle this on for my iPhone because I find it much more intuitive to tap the screen instead of having to press the side button. I admit haptick time feedback lately has been a bit spotty.

Hello Malcolm and all, Yes, this is new. Before, when you accidentally touched your watch, it would wake up. Not raise to wake but tap to wake. Now with that feature turned off, you have to press the Digital Crown or have wake on wrist raise turned on to wake up your watch. Very handy! Thanks for sharing!
