How to make Apple Watch tick like a quartz watch

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/08/apple-watch-series-10-gold.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>We mentioned last week that in iOS 26.1, Apple changed (https://9to5mac.com/2025/11/26/ios-26-1-makes-a-clever-and-subtle-clock-icon-animation-change/) how the Clock app icon’s seconds hand moves in low power mode. Instead of continuously moving, the seconds hand ticks with each second like a quartz clock.</p>



<p>Analog faces on new Apple Watches have a similar behavior, using a sweeping seconds hand in active mode and a ticking seconds hand in always on mode. If you’re like me and prefer the quartz-like movement, there’s a workaround that can help.</p>
