The Apple Watch interface is surprisingly easy to use given the limited amount of ways in which you can interact with it, and the small size of the screen. But you may find that the screen is turning off too quickly, and that you need to keep touching it in order to make all of the needed adjustments, or read all of the information this is displayed.
The default setting on the Watch will keep the screen on for 15 seconds after you select it. However, you have the option to change this and make the Apple Watch screen stay on for longer. Our guide below will show you where to find this setting and change it to keep the Apple Watch screen on for 70 seconds instead.
