Apple Watch series 3 seconds dial is not moving while on Chronograph

I've never had a problem with my watch of 3 years up until today when I decided to switch the theme. I though the Chronograph looks great and tried it, however my watch doesn't seem to show seconds, the second's dial is stuck at 12 and not moving. I'm looking forward to hear if anyone else had this problem and how it may be resolved- if possible

It is the 3 series version.

Thank you in advance for whatever advice you may share !

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8

Hey there BorisPopovski,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with the Chronograph face on your Apple Watch. We'd like to help.


From what you've described, it appears that this is expected behavior on this face. The seconds hand you're seeing is actually part of the stopwatch that is able to be started right from the watch face. Check out more about that using a stopwatch on specific faces here: Time events with a stopwatch on Apple Watch - Apple Support


Open and choose a stopwatch
1. Open the Stopwatch app  on your Apple Watch, or tap the stopwatch on your watch face (if you’ve added it or you’re using the Chronograph or Chronograph Pro watch face).
2. Choose Analog, Digital, Graph, or Hybrid on the Stopwatch screen.
3. To choose a different format while viewing a stopwatch, tap <, then choose a format.

Hope that helps.

Cheers!
