If I set a timer on my new Ultra 2 watch, I get no resulting Now Bar on the watch's screen. I have tried both settings, Icon Only and Icon With Text and neither setting makes any difference. I have submitted feedback about this problem, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.

I ran into the same problem. I am going to assume you did what I did and forgot to check the notifications. What worked for me: settings > notifications > app notifications > timer > allow notifications > reboot watch. I hope this works for you

I don't have an Ultra watch, but you said you tried with icon and text and are not getting the now bar - did you restart the watch after changing the setting? When you set it to icon only, did you not get the animation at 6:00?

I can suggest a stop gap until it gets figured out. Select a face with complications and add a timer complication. The timer will count down in the complication. I use it on my watch, as I find the now bar with the countdown totally annoying and the icon only doesn't give me the countdown (what's the point of that?)

Thanks for the idea of temporarily using a timer complication. I may end up having to do that since everything else I have tried hasn't worked.

THANK YOU! That solved the problem without even needing to reboot the watch. I never considered the Now Bar as a notification. It's been nine days since I submitted this issue to Samsung and I haven't had a response yet.
