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 think you’ve misunderstood the issue, which I think a lot of people are who read this thread and I understand why. This is NOT about it showing 10:09 when swiping to change the watch face.
The issue is that when swiping to change watch face is set to on, that for a lot of watch faces, EVERY TIME you raise your wrist, you can see the time flick from the correct time (the 1hz display) to 10:09 for a split second, then back to the correct time.
Its a bug, an unintended consequence. The only fix is to turn off the new option for swipe to change watch face - rendering the feature useless.
this bug means the watch tells the wrong time every time you look. It is beyond annoying. I’ve turned off swipe watch faces but it is so surprising that this has not yet been fixed.
Yes, that is very annoying ...
It seems so, that nearly nobody uses direct swiping of Watch faces...
If I would be a responsible programmer in the Apple team, the bug would be already fixed...
Never noticed this and don’t really care. It’s not a big thing to loose sleep over.
Is it worth responding to say that? Many people do have this issue and it means you have a $400+ watch that tells the wrong time every time you look at it.
I did my research it’s not a bug. Maybe it switched over faster in previous iOS’s.
GET A LIFE PEOPLE if this disturbs you for fraction of a second!
Not on my Apple Watch Ultra 2, I raise my wrist, display comes on, shows the exact time instantly.
No matter which watch face I choose.
Which Apple Watch do you use?
People are complaining that when they switch watch faces for a split second it shows the time 9:10 before showing the correct time. I did my research and this is not a bug.
It's a series 8. Possible the bug is limited to that model. It only happens on certain watch faces.

But that's analog. People were very specific about it being digital. But regardless, I can't reproduce with Infograph either.
For avoidance of doubt, this is not what I am referring to. I don’t consider this a bug. My issue is this happens when raising your wrist too.
definitely not, raising wrist shows correct time immediately.

For demonstrating this annoying bug a small video....
To clarify, this is not a bug. People are reporting one specific problem. This isn't it.
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.

That’s the same Steve Jobs who said “you’re holding it wrong”?

Watch it, buster! Steve Jobs was perfect! ;-)
Swiping Watch faces always display 10:09 before exact time
