Apple watch ultra, prevent the power saving when the wrist is down (not talking about low power mode)

Unfortunately, as I understand it, that is the normal mode of operation with the Always On option. Many nurses have made similar complaints about the second hand disappearing when trying to measure a patients heart beat rate. As this article:

Use the Always On feature with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

says

"To preserve battery life, the display dims when your wrist is down, or by a quick gesture of covering the display with your hand."

Hi,

I don’t have a fix but there’s something buggy with this setting.

With my new watch, the screen stayed on even on wrist down. But I actually saw a setting called Sleep on Wrist Down (not exact wording). I toggled this on to test it and then the setting disappeared entirely. Now, my watch just goes black on wrist down even in the middle of a call, etc.

Any notifications I get, calls included, do not wake the watch screen up either.

So I’m actually in the process of a rectifying this for the fourth time.

Yes, you can set the watch screen to remain active for 15 seconds OR 70 seconds. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app. Screen & Brightness. Wake Duration. Set it to 70 seconds.

I would like to add something to this - my watch would stay on even when I lowered my wrist but I found a setting called “lower wrist to sleep” (not exact wording). I toggled this on. But now the option has disappeared. And my watch goes black even when I’m in the middle of a call.
