New Apple watch SE , display not always on

It's very annoying , I would like the watch screen to be always on. Noone told me about this when I upgraded.

You have to keep pressing the watch to get the time etc and I have photos on my watch face I like to see.

Apple has a 14 day return policy for full refund in the US. Your Apple Watch SE does not have an always-on display, unlike the Series 8 and Ultra models. Please scroll down to see the comparison here: Apple Watch SE - Apple
