Apple Watch Series 8 display not on while sitting on Mag Safe duo charger

I purchased a Mag Safe duo charger for my Series 8 watch. I was inter the impression that the time would be visible while charging, but it doesn’t work.

Apple Watch Series 6 won’t charge it displays the time next to a green lightning bolt when it is on the charger. If I take it off the charger the bolt turns red And then goes black. I’ve tried leaving it on the charger over night and it didn’t charge. Just kept showing the time and bolt. I’ve also tried forcing a restart and the Apple logo won’t appear. I know it’s not my charger because it does the same on my mothers charger. And my mothers Apple Watch also charges just fine on my charger

Apple watch face while charging When I put my 4th generation Apple Watch on its charger, it has a screen that shows time, date, a red dot, and a green circle showing how charged it is. When it goes dark, I can touch it and get back that screen. This is not the screen I have when I wear it (although it is close to my night-time screen). My wife's 9th generation Apple Watch shows her Mickey Mouse default screen on her charger. That isn't nearly as useful, as she has to do some work to determine how charged it is. Where did my charging screen come from? Can we change my wife's charging screen to that one?

The watch will stay blank while charging until the watch is moved slightly. Then the time will come on momentarily.
