Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
The time on the Apple Watch only updates when I raise my wrist to wake the screen. When the screen is darkened - but still displaying the time - the time is not correct. It then jumps forward to the correct time when the screen is awake. This has happened since the latest iOS update. I have a series 5.
Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 8
I do not believe that’s accurate, as this has never happened with my watch before. I have owned an Apple Watch since their release. I have used the dimmed face (when not awake) to tell the time every day prior to this update without that jump occurring.
Any other replies would be most helpful :)
Oh really?! Sorry I didn't understand. That seems totally bonkers to me, because what is the point of displaying the time on the dimmed screen if it's not correct?! How annoying. I often like to check the time without waking the screen.
I guess I'll just have to hope that they realise this isn't a great feature and will fix it in an upcoming update.
Thanks for the help.
I'll rephrase my answer,this is normal behaviour with WatchOS8 and ios15.
This issue has been reported numerous times on this forum.
That is normal behaviour with an analog face,a digital face updates straight away.
