why doesn’t my watch #5 show the time at all time.

My iWatch 5 doesn’t show the time when I look at it. I have to press the button first.

my watch doesn’t display the time until I press the button - why?

Always On lets Apple Watch display the watch face and time, even when your wrist is down. When you raise your wrist, Apple Watch functions fully.

  1. Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Tap Display & Brightness, then tap Always On.
  3. Turn on Always On.
  4. Turn on Hide Sensitive Complications to hide calendar events, messages, heart rate, and more when your wrist is down.
