Return to Clock not working after OS11 update

I use timers a lot during the day for various things and once a timer is set it goes to the screen shown in the attachment and I have to go back manually to the clock face whether wrist is down for 10 seconds, 10 minutes or an hour.


I have Return to Clock set for Always and it just won't do it.


Is this a bug with the new watchOS or a different setting somewhere that I haven't located?


I did not have this issue before the 11 update.


Thank you.

Apple Watch Series 7

I found the setting.


Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Click Smart Stack (which apparently is the name of that screen in the original post) and turn off Auto-Launch Live Activities.
