Why does the Apple watch screen go black in workout mode? It didn't used to do that...I like to see my distance and heartrate.

It isn't that it is not waking up, because I can swipe to the right and get the screen that lets me end the workout or pause it. It's just that the screen is black (except for the two dots that indicates I'm in one of two screens), instead of showing me stats like heart rate and distance. It used to show those stats, but now the last several times I've worked out, during the middle of the workout it's a blank screen.
