how long until watch notification disappears?

Scenario:

Your washing your hands, you hear your watch chime... you don't want to raise your arm at that moment. 8 seconds later you are done, turn the water off and look. Oops! Too late, you missed it. Now you have to touch the watch with your finger and swipe down to see what it was that just chimed 10 seconds ago.

Can you change this time to allow more forgiveness? I feel like its about 10 seconds, maybe less before the notifications goes away.

Bueller?

No, you can only change the "display on" time if it follows a finger tap. I had changed that, but changed it back. From 15 seconds to 70 seconds was too long - not sure why Apple didn't do something more middle of the road, like 30 seconds.

I've had that same situation, and sometimes wish that timeout was a little longer.

70 seconds is fine by me. I just put my right hand over the watch face to turn it off, and I have wake screen on wrist raise off.

70 seconds was specifically for medical professionals who need it to stay on for at least a minute to check their patients' vitals. Apple doesn't seem to care about having it stay on for longer than 15 seconds for any other reasons.
