I did not see it with WatchOS 9 or before, but since WatchOS10.2 which reintroduced the Swipe to change faces, the time always displays first as 10:09:31 before setting the correct time one second later. Why is it so ? Is it only me ? Is there a setting to change ? It is really inconvenient.
Apple Watch Series 5
I have submitted feedback asking them to put it back to as it was before. Perhaps if enough of us do it, it will change ?

Yes, it is likely a design choice not to update in the background to save on battery. But we must admit that the result is disturbing and not a friendly UI.
No, "we" don't have to admit that. Again, the fact that some people dislike something to does not make it bad.
Whatever this problem is, I don't like it. I never noticed it before. I do swap my screens around, because I can. It's annoying that it has to switch time. They should change this. It serves no good to have it set to the wrong time first, despite all the symmetry of 1009.
Be prepared for people to tell you this is normal, that it is expected behaviour for a watch to not tell the time correctly. Simply astonishing this has not been fixed, given it is apparently an unintended consequence of some odd programming choices apple has made.
@David M Brewer
How can You say it's not a bug, surely this is bug since iOS 17.x !
I own an Apple since 2015 and never had this issue. The 10:09 time show is only a marketing thing which You can see on all pictures of the watch, but switching watch faces has to show the correct time immediately, as it has the last 8 years since now !!! Sorry, no I can not accept any other explanation.
the topic of this thread is:
Swiping Watch faces always display 10:09 before exact time
-> this is the issue / bug since WatchOS10.2
what for heaven are You all talken about ?????
-> Please Apple: FIX THIS BUG !
For demonstrating this annoying bug a small video....
for example: watchOS 10.4 - Series 6 - Swiping Watch Faces
time always shows 10:09 and then changes to correct time after a half second... bug since watchOS 10.x
The bug is visible for ALL watch faces, not only the analogous ones, but You can see it much better when switching to an analogous...
Sorry, an Apple product for 500,-- EUR has to show the correct time immediately, just like she has done for the last 10 years before the bug was implemented !
Although i don't know for sure, i do believe this is intensional. My dad use to work at a company that imports clocks. When displaying an analogue clock, as an industry standard, they always adjust the hands to 10:10:30. This was believed to be the best way to display an analogue watch or clock. When i was a kid, everytime i visit dad at work and hangout in the display room, ALL the clocks were set to 10:10:30. If you check out all the analogue watch faces on your apple watch, you will notice ALL of them are displayed that way. So i dont think this is an error of glitch.
As for why it’s 10:09:31 and not 10:10:30, i think it is because for a digital time display, apple wants to show more variety of numbers rather than using too many zeros.

That's not the point. The question is not about 10:10:30 or 10:09:31. It is about having the watch display a totally wrong hour each time you swipe.
OMG!!!!!! That's so horrible!!!!! I mean, you might get confused and be late for something, you know?. Or early! I can't believe Apple does this!!!!!!

Believe it. Apple was never like this under Steve Jobs.
Can anyone confirm that the latest version of watchOS fixes this bug???
As far as I remember, this has also been the exact time, as the iPhone has been introduced officially for the first time by Steve Jobs at the Apple Event.
Yep, but it’s only recently it’s been popping up as a major bug that apple has failed to fix in multiple watchOS upgrades now!
Yes, but what you are saying is a bit ridiculous - of course it’s a bug - not sure why you keep saying that! It would take an apple developer 5 seconds to see that!!!
It's not a bug, it's a feature 😀
Ridiculously, we are many months in and apple still haven’t fixed this bug. Astonishing.
Swiping Watch faces always display 10:09 before exact time
