Like all the devices, you can turn on your Apple Watch with ease. To wake the watch face, the device has more than one way. By customizing the watch settings, you can turn on the watch in several ways.
Using the Side Button
When the Apple Watch is switched off, tap and hold the Side Button to turn on the watch. The watch face will appear when it is turned on.
Turn on Apple Watch Using Digital Crown
There are two ways to wake the watch face using the Digital Crown. Gently press on the Digital Crown will wake up the watch immediately. For the other way, you have to modify the settings.
(1) Open the Settings app and go to the General menu.

(2) Choose the General option from the Settings menu.
(3) Select the Wake Screen option.

Tap the Watch Face
Just like the Digital Crown, gently tap on the watch face will turn on the display. If you want, you can customize the time period that the watch needs to wake when tapped.
On Apple Watch, go to Settings–> General –> Wake Screen –> Choose Wake for 70 seconds or Wake for 15 seconds.
