I was really hoping and kind of expecting Apple to listen to the users and add the function to allow us to set a longer delay for the screen turning off on our watch. I do not feel this would have been a complicated item to add, even if they did not want the user having free reign on setting a time length, at least give 2-3 options to pick from and let us worry about how it effects the battery.

When you have 2 backgrounds (Butterfly and Jellyfish) that by the time they load the screen times out. I do not use either background but I know many complain about that and when looking at the time it gives you just a few quick seconds. Anyways, I know this has been mentioned before, sooo....:)

While I appreciate this should be an option. I personally don't have a problem with the amount of time the watch face displays. It only takes me 1/2 a second to check the time how long have you been using Apple products? You should know by now that it's apples way or the android way
 
I agree. I started switching my faces daily, and a few days ago I used the jellyfish face. By the time the jellyfish appeared, my display timed out.

If they don't want to allow us to change the timeout of the display, at least make the motion faces appear quicker.
