No timer notification on Apple Watch when screen off

Hi Team,

I’ve encountered a bug while using the timer feature for time-based habits on the Apple Watch.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. I have a habit with a daily goal of, for example, 1 hour.

  2. I start a timer from the watch for a shorter duration, e.g., 10 minutes.

  3. I begin my activity and let the watch screen turn off (inactive state).

  4. The 10-minute timer expires.

Expected Behavior: I should receive a notification or haptic feedback on my watch immediately when the timer completes, even if the screen is off.

Actual Behavior:

· No notification is delivered when the screen is off at the moment the timer finishes. · If I raise my wrist to wake the screen 15 minutes later, I then see the "Timer Ended" notification appear, even though the timer actually ended minutes ago.

It seems the notification is not being triggered in the background and only appears when the interface updates upon waking the device.

Device Info:

· Watch Model: Apple Watch Series 10

· watchOS Version: Latest

· App Version: Latest

Thanks for looking into this!
