Jun 18, 2015 7:36 AM in response to davidfromtrappeby G3gator,Having followed this thread from somewhat of a distance with no personal problem, I do think the medical people have a legitimate issue. However, it is one, I think, easily solved until there is a software change (if there will be one). A $10 Casio would do the job. Extra? Yes. Costly to someone who paid a minimum of $350 for an Apple Watch? I don't think so.
FWIW, I have a cheap Casio that keeps good time, is waterproof, can be read easily in direct sunlight, etc. I use it on the beach or swimming. I would probably use it when jogging in a dodgy area.
Disclosure: I have no stock in Casio.

Not so - it controlled excessive battery consumption - and now fixed anyway. But even in OS2 there are still a few things need fixing.

Nov 3, 2015 10:19 AM in response to julian KAYEby Dan Mitchell1,If my comment's purpose was unclear - I am merely commenting, and agreeing with others, that the fixed short on-time of the display has been altered to allow a choice in OS2, and then reminding all of us that keeping on the display for 70 secs. on a regular basis will lead to excessively quick battery consumption.
BUT I'm also saying that there remain OTHER issues as described in these fora that still need attention - e.g. I think we need a software "switch" that copies all notifications to the Watch even if the paired iPhone is in use.

No, fixed implies it didn't work as intended and now it does, Apple have added a supplemental feature, they haven't fixed anything (or at least not in relation to how long the display stays illuminated).

Nov 3, 2015 10:22 AM in response to Winston Churchillby Dan Mitchell1,See edit - however many of those complaining bitterly about the then short "ON" time of the display clearly believed it was indeed something needing "fixed".

Sep 6, 2016 8:08 PM in response to nbakingsby chigoziefromva,I'm totally in support of longer screen time. I have a similar problem with the watch, can't check patients pulse with it. I'm having to wear a regular watch to work and apple watch when I'm not working.
Would not mind charging it more often. They could try dimming the watch but let it stay on

WWhich is why there is now an option in Watch OS 2 to keep the display on for 70 seconds. In Settings/General/Wake screen
