Longer Second Hand

Just tap on the watch face. It should stay visible for approximately one minute. Also, on your iPhone Watch App go to General, scroll down to "Wake Screen" and tap on" Wake for 70 Seconds."

This flummoxed me for a long time, but as it turns out the answer is in front of our faces: You have to tap the watch screen to activate the countdown. It does not stay on for 15 or 70 seconds if you simply turn up your wrist; you need to physically touch the screen.

Hopefully this helps!

Loschoon: you do have to touch the face once. Turning your wrist up won't keep it up for 15/70 seconds, you need to tap the face to activate that time.

Which watch face are you using? I have an AW4 and use the Infograph face. The seconds hand stays lit as long as the rest of the face.

I have 4 watch faces that use a second hand and all of the stay on for 70 seconds.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I’m starting nursing school and am wondering if there’s a way to keep the second hand going without having to tap it. Let me know!
