Can the full timer be displayed on my Apple Watch all the time?

Hi All, I find it very annoying that the Apple timer doesn’t show the seconds figures after a while, all it shows is “:—“, instead of showing the seconds; this is when your are running short circuits of 30s or so that you need to swap without having to manually tap the screen and waste time doing so, as it needs to be done many times in a session; is there a setting that removes these “:—“ and actually shows the seconds all the time?
