How can I change the screen time out on WearOS?

Dear Community,

I have a Huawei watch and it always turns off after a very short time after it has been activated. That annoys me extremely and that's why I have the question of whether I can set the screen to turn off only after 10 seconds or something.

You mean until it switches to the standby display?

As far as I know, the individual watch faces can control this themselves or at least ignore the system specification.

I didn't find anything about it in the WearOS settings, but I have watch faces that I I can configure it via an associated app on the smartphone and I can set it there. For example, I have my favorite watch face. The choice between Default, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 & 25s - with others it is often only up to 10 or 15s, but for me personally that's enough because I have it on 10s.

This setting only has an effect on the associated watchface, so if I select another one, it runs again according to the system specifications or the individual setting of this watchface.

Ok then, do you happen to know how to change that at Facer?

I could imagine that it doesn't work there. I only took a quick look at Facer - on the other hand, I dealt a little more with the very similar app WatchMaker, but one thing that annoyed me about it was unfortunately that I couldn't find any settings for it…

Ok thanks what kind of watchfaces do you use on your watch?

I mainly use watch faces from the PlayStore, my favorite has been the https://play.google.com/...ackclassic from https://play.google.com/...1590810026 for a long time - it is very discreet but also very flexible.

Most good watch faces are not completely free if you want to use them 100%, but they really don't cost much and mostly you can test them for free with limited functionality and see what would still be possible in the full version.

Ok, thank you, I prefer the retro style, so that it looks like a Casio watch

Yes, to be honest, I would have been surprised if this watchface had met your taste 100%, because it's just too broad a field for that, but it was primarily intended as an example.
There are also a number of programmers who primarily or even only program watch faces and I would be surprised if there wasn't one that corresponds to your ideas (in terms of appearance and functionality).

https://play.google.com/...d=RichFace has e.g. Also some pure digital / matrix layouts and often they can be adjusted so flexibly in the full version that they look completely different just by changing the colors. There are certainly more, but I still had this name in my head, because I also have 2 WFs.

Thanks that helped me a lot. ^^

Perfect 🙂 - and thanks for the compliment! 👍

I'm happy to give compliments for good and nice answers ^^.
