Picked up the S4 this afternoon, Got it all set up around 4pm, everything went smooth.

I'm not sure what this is...if it's a new setting I'm missing or something is goofy? (I'm coming from a Series 1, lot has changed) It just seems to be a tad sluggish when I turn my wrist and when the screen, time appears. (video below)

When I went out to Target about 90 min ago...it's nighttime...not a real bright parking lot, I checked my watch and the screen was really dim for a sec, screen went off. I turned my wrist again and get this delay. The lag is not happening all the time.

Not nit picking here - just something I noticed. My old Apple Watch without question responded faster than this.

Does that happen with all watchfaces? I don’t seem to have that problem though I do notice when using that particular watch face it was just a tad slower (but not as noticeable as yours). Wonder if all those complications may have something to do with it.

I am using the same watch face you are using and typically do not have any issue. I assume you have tried to restart your device and / or hard restart?

I've noticed this too. Only on Infograph face. Like your video, 1st time is fast, but if rotated again quickly, there is a delay. If you wait a few more seconds and rotate, it's pretty fast again. Not a big worry for me.

Yep, I did restart it, no change. I was thinking this also Sting, if this was maybe TOO much info cause a lag, It's nomral one time, then slow to show the next.

I changed it to the "Simple" watch face. (Just hour, minute, and second hand) - its still has that lag.

10-4. I wonder if this lag is intentional, to keep the face less sensitive after just activating... assuming that since you just looked, you wouldn't be again so soon. Just a guess, but doesn't explain why only certain faces seem to be affected.

Odd.I just messed with the settings, Apple Watch App > General >Wake Screen. and toggled 'off' then 'on' again.
Then Rebooted the watch AND the phone. No idea, it seems better right now.
