How can I keep nightstand mode on all night, so that when I look up I can tell what time it is?

APPLE WATCH N+ S3 42 SG AL A/B SPCEL, Watch OS 4.2. I leave the watch on its side plugged into the charger, the time and date come up, but after 10 seconds or so it goes away.

Hi


It is not possible to keep the display permanently awake in Nightstand Mode (or at any other time, without ongoing interactions with the display).


If you would like to submit a feature request to Apple, then you can do so here:

Whilst it does turn itself off, I find my watch is very sensitive to bumps - a slight nudge of whatever your watch is resting on should be enough to wake the display if you absolutely must know the time right there and then!


I now wear mine to bed to track my sleep (charge it for 2-3 hours of quiet time in my evenings before retiring for the evening), so I now have the opposite issue of remembering to put mine into matinee-mode so it isn't like a torch everytime I toss or turn!
