Fully disable screen saver?

Hi,

following my post here watch always on with application? - Apple Community


I still can't find a way to stop have the watch switch to the little click on the top-right corner of the screen when the hand is not raised.

AlwaysOn with activity always on and "return to clock" set to 1 hour, still switches to the clock when the watch is not raised anymore.

I need the screen to ALWAYS show my content ( a map for running activities ), not having to fully raise the hand 90° to see it.

Went to the Apple Store Genius Bar to ask, and nobody had a clue on how to do this.


Anyone here able to keep the screen really always on during an activity?

Thanks for any help

To my knowledge, there is no way to keep the screen fully on for extended periods of time. It would be a battery hog and age the battery prematurely are just two reasons I can think of why this isn't a user configurable option.
