Wondering if anyone else is seeing this ... or knows of a setting/option squirreled away somewhere to change this behavior.
I have an Apple Watch Series 8 with always-on display. If it matters, I am using the "Solar" watch face.
Since watchOS 10, I have noticed that some complications are not updating while my wrist is down (the display is on but "dim"). Previously, they would update once per minute. I am still having the problem on watchOS 11, but I didn't have it on watchOS 9.
An example would be the "Timer" complication, which is the one that I really care about. Say I put a timer on for 30 minutes. I have the timer complication and I'd like to glance at my watch and see how long is left on the timer. It just shows how long is left at the last time that I raised my wrist. It doesn't "refresh" the value until I "activate" the watch by raising it. (I just watched it immediately drop from 39 minutes to 25 minutes when doing this.)
The actual clock time on the display *does* update as it should, just the complications don't.
If I leave the smart stack open with the timer displayed, then the timer does update appropriately there while my wrist is down and the display is "dim". The smart stack doesn't always put the widget that I want on top, though.
I noticed similar behavior with the "time until sunrise/sunset" complication.
