Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
HI. My dad just got an Apple Watch, and when he is working out he needs to use it as a timer/stopwatch. The problem is, when he is working out it turns off, whereas he needs to see it at any time. Is there a way to keep the watch from turning off? thanks.
Hi
No, that is not presently possible.
You can change a setting that will allow the display to stay on for 70 seconds if you tap the screen. But there is no way to keep it on continuously.

To clarify: this only keeps the display awake for up to 70 seconds. If the wrist is lowered during that time (as may be likely when working out) the screen will sleep again.
Stop Apple Watch from turning off
