Share This:

Welcome to the world of the Apple Watch and its many features, including Nightstand mode. Nightstand mode is a convenient way to keep your Apple Watch charged while still allowing you to view notifications, check the time, and more. It puts your watch into a special low-power state that allows it to stay active for up to 70 seconds afer you tap the screen or press any of the physical buttons.

Nightstand mode is great for those times when you want quick access to information or just need a few minutes of hands-free time. But what if you want your Apple Watch display to stay on all the time? Unfortunately, this isn’t possible with Nightstand mode – but thee are some things you can do to extend the amount of time your Apple Watch display stays on after tapping or pressing a button.

First, open Settings on your Apple Watch and select Display & Brightness. From here, scroll down and select Wake Duration. This will alow you to change how long your display stays on after tapping or pressing a button – up to 70 seconds! If you want even longer than that, try adjusting your brightness level – the brighter it is, the longer it will stay on before automatically dimming again.

If you’re looking for an always-on experience while in Nightstand mode, there are also third-party apps available that can help with this. These apps allow you to set certain conditions (such as charging level) that will keep your watch display on until they’re met – so no more worrying about tapping or pressing buttons every few minutes!

We hope this guide has been helpful in understanding how nightstand mode works on your Apple Watch and what options are avaiable for extending its wake duration.

Troubleshooting Apple Watch Not Staying Always On

The most likely reason why your Apple Watch is not staying always on is because the “Always On” setting has been disabled. This setting allows the watch to stay illuminated for a few seconds ater you raise your wrist, so that you can quickly check the time or glance at important notifications. If this setting has been turned off, your watch will turn off its display shortly after you lower your wrist. To enable this setting, open the “Watch” app on your iPhone and select Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On. After making sure this setting is enabled, try restarting your Apple Watch by holding down the side button until the Power Off button shows up. Wait about 10-15 seconds and then turn it back on by holding down the side button again.
