how to enable continuous sweep second hand on apple watch

Anyone know how to make the apple watch display functional sweep second hand for long enough to take vital signs as a healthcare provider? I need this thing to stay on for minutes, not seconds, and it needs to be hands free, because my other hand is already busy.

Oh my gosh! the magic is the utility watch face! I'd set the wake screen to 70 seconds, but the second hand still disappeared on the California face. It's working! Hallelujah, I knew there MUST be a way to do this. Thank you!

Keep the Apple Watch display on longer

You can keep the display on longer when you tap to wake your Apple Watch.

  1. Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Go to General > Wake Screen, then tap Wake for 70 Seconds.
  3. And use the utility watch face.
