Timer Complication on Motion Watch Face Not Updating

Have a Series 9 and since updating to watchOS 10, if I have an Active Timer, it no longer updates in real-time on any of the Motion faces (jellyfish, butterfly, flowers). I have to rotate my wrist to have the data refresh. If I switch to another face (e.g., Nike Globe), it works as expected. Doesn't matter if I have Always On display or not.


Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it? Makes a timer much less useful.

Hi PageUpPlease,


If you haven't done so yet, restart your Apple Watch and paired iPhone. Although simple, this step can help correct some unexpected issues. It's also a good idea to make sure your devices are running the latest software versions, since this can help fix issues as well. If an update is available for your iPhone, be sure to create a backup before installing it.


Update your Apple Watch

Update your iPhone or iPad

1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

If the issue continues, reach out to Apple Support directly so they can look into this with you further. They can be contacted here: Get Support or by calling the most applicable phone number from this list: Contact Apple for support and service.


Regards.
