Are you experiencing problems with Raise to wake gesture?

Last month, Samsung started releasing a big software update for Galaxy Watch 5 that installed new Self diagnose and One UI 5.1 Camera controller zoon features to the devices.

However, after installing the update, various users have started complaining about the irregular behavior of the raise to wake feature of their watches. Every time, customers lift their wrist to wake up the watch, the screen turns off almost immediately, leaving users unable to see the time properly. Are you also encountering such a problem on your Watch 5 or Watch 4?
