iPhone analog stopwatch display is smaller after iOS 27.0.1 update

I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 27.0.1, and now the analog stopwatch display is much smaller. How can I get it back to the way it was? I tried restarting, but there was no change. I like the analog version because I find it a better representation of time moving through space. I use it every morning.

Sorry, you can't, that is the default size now. There are other stopwatch apps in the App Store, maybe one of those will suite your needs.

I can find nothing which suggests the size of the analog stopwatch can be enlarged on iPhone in iOS 27.

Yeah, I noticed the same issue. "Sorry, that's the default size now" just doesn't cut it. That's an arrogant response. Please fix this, Apple. Here's a comparison. For some of us, the smaller size is a bit of an issue.

you are replying to yourself so it is no surprise you noticed it again.

Not arrogant, just a clear statement of fact.

Please fix this, Apple.

Unfortunately none of those in the Apple App Store will pin to the top right when in another app (like a workout app for example). Changing the size of the clock face might but the most useless and omitted change to a perfectly functioning app that’s ever been made. God I hate Apple.
