My Apple Watch digital clock has gotten stuck but the analog time keeps ticking.

Hey everybody,

Since 5 days ago, November 8th 2019, my apple watch has gotten stuck at 10:09:30, three times. I'm using the infograph face, the analog time keeps ticking, however the digital gets stuck at said time. I am able to restart the watch, fixing the glitch temporarily. Just wondering if I'm alone in this?

Thanks

Barb

I had the same issue for a couple of months now! Had some digging into it and came to a couple of things. I can recreate the problem by hard pressing a watch face and selecting the one I’m on again, this does indeed set the digital time back to 10:09:30 but the analog clock keeps ticking. I really wish it didn't do that but I came up with a quick (temporary) fix for it: Apparently switching between watch faces sets the digital time back to normal, so no need to hard reset it. I just made two watch faces identical and I’m just swiping between them if I have the problem. Hope this helps some people :) Nevertheless Apple should fix this ;)

It’s been happening to me, too. I tried fixing it by going into the face gallery and changing the complication to something else and then back again, but that didn’t work. However, switching to a different style of watch face worked. At least temporarily. When it happened again this morning, I used the in-Watch face selection instead, switched it to a different face and then switched back. That seems to be the easiest way to at least temporarily fix it. There’s definitely a glitch that keeps setting it back to the “stock” time.
