I'm going to have to try and return the watchI don't believe it's a "problem", at least not from Apple's design perspective. It's working as intended.

You may not like it but it is the way Apple designed it. It's not going to be the device for everyone. Hopefully, you're still in your return period. If not, I'm sure you can easily sell it.

Tap the screen every 10-12 seconds.

Apr 30, 2015 4:20 PM in response to Meg St._Clairby julian KAYE,I know that you can tap it.
When a nurse is taking a pulse she doesnt have a free hand to tap with.I want it to stay on for at least 30 seconds
tapping every 10 seconds is not solving the problem -
Apr 30, 2015 4:33 PM in response to julian KAYEby nbakings,You have hit upon a situation Apple may not have anticipated. In trying to maximize battery life, Apple has limited the ability for the screen to stay on. But a profession such as nursing (or firefighting paramedic/emt, of which I am a part of) would require the screen to stay on for 60 seconds to get a full accurate pulse. Perhaps making Apple aware of these situations will prompt them to allow us to change the on screen time (for those of us willing to charge our watches more frequently as a trade off.)
Hope to see more threads like this with valid reasons folks would have for longer screen time.

Apple doesn't read here for suggestions.

Apr 30, 2015 6:00 PM in response to julian KAYEby Douglas Bailey,Can nurses use a 1 minute timer? Even though the display will go off the watch will alert when 60 seconds has passed. I saw a similar question where the nurse suggested she needed to see the second hand. I didn't understand that personally. Don't they just need to know when a minute has passed?
-
Apr 30, 2015 6:44 PM in response to Douglas Baileyby julian KAYE,thanks for your response, they need to see it all the time because depending on the circumstances they may only have 10 seconds or 20 seconds with a patient and in some cases they need it for a full minute, they are also measuring when different irregularities occur and their duration.

May 1, 2015 12:24 AM in response to julian KAYEby Dan Mitchell1,I'm surprised the nurse is not using a "Pulse Oximeter" - I call it a "crocodile", a gadget that clamps on a finger and shows oxygen saturation and pulse rate in bpm. In UK hospitals I have never seen any nurse get bpm any other way. I have a battery portable one for home use.
-
May 1, 2015 6:02 AM in response to Dan Mitchell1by julian KAYE,there are many reasons for taking a pulse by hand vs an oximeter, that is a discussion for another day.
right now I'm looking for a way to get the watch to display the time for 30 seconds.
