Description
Verification
- I searched for similar issues and found none was relevant.
Introduce the issue
The time is only displayed in quicksettings, applist and the watchface. The time cannot be seen when using an app. We also don't have the screen space to spare for displaying the time in every app.
Preferred solution
Instead of putting the time in apps, the time could be temporarily overlaid on the screen, in a small font at the top edge of the screen for example, every time the watch is woken up, and perhaps with a strong shake as well.

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests; start by locating the wake-up handling and any existing screen-overlay or shake-related entry points. Define the overlay behavior and device interactions, then validate that the current time appears when the watch is woken or strongly shaken without permanently consuming app screen space.
