When adjusting the color or design of a particular watch face, is there a setting I’m missing to have that look remain when the watch is not “active?” It seems the design changes (color, etc) only are visible when the wrist is lifted or crown is rotated to turn the watch “on.”
Apple Watch Series 8
Thanks for your response and question.
The images might help. When my wrist is down, it reverts to what I would best describe as a "non-colored" backgound. When I raise the wrist or turn the crown is when it displays the colors and view I set in the Watch app for that particular face. I'm just hoping to always show the "on" view. Is that a thing?

It all depends on the watch face and the colors you've selected for the face. Just know what you see on your watch with the face you've selected and colors when active is normal and expected.
With Always on, the colors will dim and mute considerably when your wrist is not up. When you say the color changes when your wrist is down, what does it change to?
That's normal for the watch face you've selected with the colors you've selected. Your watch is operating as it was designed to operate.
It seems all faces are "dark" when off and then switch to the colored face on wrist or crown? There isn't any setting or color that isn't a dark / black view when not "on?"
