I think I've identified a bug with the Apple Watch and Video Notifications recieved from Nest Cams.

I had noticed that since WatchOS 6, my watch's battery life was very poor, sometimes down to 10% after only 7-8h or so - but last week I managed to pinpoint what was causing it.

When viewing a video preview on a notification on the watch, if you press the Digital Crown to stop the video, the screen will stay on permanently until you reboot it (or cover with your palm, but this will only fix it until you raise to wake, upon which it will stick again).

It does not trigger if you click "Done" on the video notification before letting the watch sleep - it only triggers if you either press the Digital Crown during a video notification, or make the screen sleep with a palm cover during the video playback.

Anyone else with Nest Cameras and an Apple Watch able to replicate and confirm a bug? (I have already replicated it on mine and my wife's devices successfully (Apple X + Apple Watch Series 4, 40mm // Apple 11 Pro Max + Apple Watch Series 4, 44mm).

I have a nest cam and Apple Watch but have never stopped a video that way. I just tried and I’m seeing the same thing. My watch won’t go to sleep after I stop the video. And I put it unto sleep mode (screen off) them moved my wrist and it stays in, just like you observed.
