Annoying digital clock interrupting workout apps

Whenever I’m using a workout app (third party) within seconds the time appears in digital clock format as a sort of screensaver in and the background of the app is blurred out. The time here is almost acting like a screensaver. This only occurs when the always on function is turned on otherwise the watch just goes black. This is quite annoying as the watch is displaying animations and time 30 seconds of star jumps or press-ups for example. So I have to press the screen or the crown to wake up the watch and get rid of this screensaver of a digital clock. I’ve tried fiddling with the wake screen settings but nothing matches my needs. Does anyone have an idea of what to do? I have found that someone else has already asked this question but it wasn’t solved and the suggested answers didn’t work. Many thanks in advance.
