How can I slow down the Apple Watch so that I can actually find

I have an Apple Watch series 2 & cannot use any of the apps as the watch shuts down before I can even read or tell what I need! How can I keep it on & slow it from shutting down?

Apple Watch Series 2, iOS 10.2

Hi


When waking the screen by raising your wrist (with that setting enabled), the screen will stay awake for a few seconds without further interaction.


The display can also be configured to remain awake without ongoing interaction for up to either 15 or 70 seconds. This option applies when the screen is tapped on to wake it from sleep or when it is tapped on after being woken by raising your wrist.


To set your preferred wake duration when tapping the screen:


On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Wake Screen - under On Tap, select Wake for 15 or 70 Seconds.


Regardless of the chosen setting and of how the screen is woken, it is normal for the screen to sleep again if you lower your wrist before it is due to sleep automatically.


If the display is not remaining awake for as long as it should do, the following steps may help:


If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:


Restart both your iPhone and your watch:


Unpair and re-pair your watch:
