I make a workout app for Apple Watch and in watchOS 8 I was able to update the UI every second while the watch was in always on mode. This way I could show heart rate, calories and timers at all times.

In watchOS 9 I can no longer do this, the UI only refreshes once every minute. Anyone else seeing this issue and have a potential solution?

I solved this issue by wrapping my view in TimelineView with 1 second interval.
