As a medical professional, I need the screen to stay on a bit longer to do HR and resp rates on my patients.  I don't need or want "constant on" and realize that would drain the battery but 10 seconds isn't enough.  Is there a way to set it for a bit longer?

And since you probably need more then 20 seconds, you can search the watchfaces.

There are a few ('Nothing Special' is one of them) that have Always on Mode.

If you cover the watch with your hand it will blank out, but if you keep the watch visible, the screen will not blank out.

But it will drain your battery 5% per hour, if you keep the screen on.

Go to settings on you watch and you can set the screen display up to 20 seconds in five second increments.
