screen timeout - Moto 360

when i look at the watch its on for like 2 seconds then dims and turns off..
is there any way to keep the watch on for longer without being on all the time?
i cant find any settings for screen timeout

As far as I know, you can turn ambient mode on where the watch face does not turn off but I have not seen a way (unrooted) that would allow you to change the timeout time. I could be wrong however.

Some 3rd party faces have this option. Not in wear itself yet.

All Watchfaces from Smartwatch Bureaux have a setting for defaut, 15s, 30s,......

[Q] Watch Face - Dim Mode

I've had my watch for a while now and can't seem to get it to go into Dim-Mode after looking at the face. Whenever I turn the watch face on to look at the time, after a while it go off completely without showing me the dim mode. Is there something I am missing?
It sounds like you're looking for "Ambient Mode" just go to the setting and turn it to "Ambient Mode: On"
I like Ambient mode too because it makes it very quick and easy to glance and check the time!

Odd question - Tilt to wake to Ambient Screen?

Hello,
I have an odd question, but first...how my question came about.
I have had my Moto360 for about 5 months now and enjoy it. But, there is that pesky battery life issue. I tried the Ambient screen and I like that because of being able to simply have a clock to see the time. If I get a notification, the watch goes full brightness, vibrates and shows the normal watch face for that. But...for the 10 other hours I'm not looking at my watch it doesn't need to be constantly lit up with Ambient Mode.
So...is there a way to have Tilt to Wake show the ambient clock along with full brightness watch face for notifications? Sort of a hybrid mode of both options. I would guess this would require root to modify a base function of the OS. I currently use Pujie Black for my watchface as well. Appreciate any thoughts!
Before the most recent update this is actually how Ambient mode worked and I missed it. Screen was of until I moved it and then it must lit up to Ambient. It was very nice and I miss that functionality. I really wish there was a way to get it back.
Bump...
Anyone been able to figure this out... Is there a hack that would allow this?

Clock freezes for some seconds in ambient mode. Is that normal?

When i use custom watchfaces that use digital clock when the watch goes on ambient mode the seconds counter freezes for some seconds then catches up repeatedly. If i tap the watch and come back at normal mode everything works normally. Is this normal? Is there a way to fix that?
I *think* that in ambient mode the screen refreshes only once a minute or something like that to save battery power.

I think it would be a mixture of how the watch face is programmed and how Ambient mode works.
If other watches act normal then one would have to believe the other watch faces are bugged or are running as expected. You could Email the watch face developer and ask him how it should act.
I dont personally use Ambient mode so I cant say.

Disable tilt to sleep

Hello guys,
i know there's a way to disable tilt to wake gestures from the watch settings, but is there a way to keep the watch on and also disable the "tilt to sleep" gesture ?
thanks
There is also a way to set screen always ON on watch setting
That's not the same thing. Always on screen is Active even if backlight is off. I want both active at same time ! If i tilt the Watch down, the backlight goes off and any sideloaded app open on Watch get closed.
what do you want ? screen ON with backlight ? without backlight ? active ? not active ?
if you add theater mode (double button click) screen keep ON and not active.
for always screen ON and backlight ON there are some app to keep backlight but battery last 5 hours....

Yep, i want screen on and backlight on as i am testing a sideloaded app, i dont care about battery.
Which app ? I don't want to root my Watch
Some app like :

Did you ever find something to achieve this? It seems there needs to be a way to disable the action of tilting backwards/down from triggering ambient mode. That StayLit appears to only be for when the watch is still facing you. Ambient still gets triggered in alternate directions.
EDIT: I just realized "Infinity" in StayLit did what I needed. The + didn't work so I thought it wasn't working at all.

Question Keep Timer display on for the duration of timer?

I remember being able to tell Google Assistant to start a timer for x minutes and the screen would stay on until the timer is finished and stopped.
But for the last few months, the timer starts, then GA tells me a timer is running (doh) but it doesn't display the remaining time, then it goes to the lock screen.
Is there a way that I am missing to keep the screen on and on the Timer screen until I stop it?
Besides setting Stay awake on in Developer Settings, IDK
One way is to enable always on display (you can even have a quick toggle to enable/disable AOD for quickness) as the timer is displayed on there when screen goes off
