Hi all, new here.
Can anyone tell me why my Apple Watch goes to this black clock face every now and then...mostly when I get in the car and have car play on and Spotify...etc...

can I stop it from going to this black clock face?? any advice, feedback, or answers appreciated.

:)

That's usually the screen you see when the watch is in power reserve mode. But the numbers would also be green...maybe it's a focus setting you have set unknowingly?

I will dive deeper into my focus settings.
maybe it does that because of CarPlay….

Thank you iPhaithful
i think you are correct in the fact that it is a driving focus I have enabled on my phone and it’s mirrored to my watch.
I had it set to turn on automatically while driving.
Thank you so much for shedding some light and helping me out when one else could.
