Hi everyone!

I’ve had watchOS 4 ever since it came out and am using it on a series 2. While I am happy about most of the updates, there is one little quirk I am curious if anyone else has noticed.

I use the Stand reminders in Activity and am always aiming for the 12 hour goal. When I used to look at the progress bar, the hour I was currently on would pulse if I had not yet reached the goal for the hour. Now in watchOS 4, I’ve noticed it won’t even have a bar for the current hour. Since the screen is small, I find myself having to count the bar in reference to the 12 or 6 o’clock hour markers. I have attached a picture for reference. Since it is in the 11:00 hour, there should be a bar pulsing to let me know I’m still working towards that hour goal, yet there is no bar at all. Has anyone else noticed this or had this problem? It’s annoying me a lot more than I expected it to. I even tried to unpair and repair my watch to my phone last night.

Thank you!!

Mince doesn't pulse. Series 3 LTE. Battery saving on apples part? Every little helps.

Mines the same, seems a specific change in watch OS4, as right the way through all the other watch OS's it did what you describe. Its really annoying actually!

[doublepost=1509013688][/doublepost]This is apparently fixed in watch os4.1 coming next week (probably next week with ios11.1)
