You can choose between 10, 15 and 20 seconds. Although some 3rd party watch faces also allow you to keep the screen on (at the cost of battery life).

First of all, thank you for the work that you do! Second, I would set it for the 30 seconds, seeing as it takes that long sometimes to do some of the vitals, such as taking a pulse.

Kristen, the only options are 10, 15 & 20 seconds as mentioned earlier by N8teGee.

Sorry didn' realise that, I would go for the 20 second one then if taking vitals.

So, where do I go to set this back like timing? Thank you

Swipe left to Settings and it is at the top of the list.

OMG I’ve been trying to find it on the app on my cell phone for 15 minutes!!!  while working out on an elliptical.  

THANK YOU!

You're welcome!

The Flat Jarvis clockface now displays seconds, and has the option to tap three times to keep the display on, and again to turn it off  - perfect for taking vitals without draining the battery excessively the rest of the time.

For all of you medicos, if you "move" (by dragging) the timer app to the top-left or the bottom-left of the FIRST app screen on your watch, then a double click on the top-right or the bottom-right button on your watch will start the timer app. Whether your clock face supports the seconds or not after that will not matter, since the timer runs in 10ths of a second! Hope that helps!

I loaded Fitbit’s Business clock, and it allowed increments between 10 sec to 60 seconds, with the warning it will affect battery life.
