Timer not firing on WatchOS 3

I'm calling startTimer() and getting "start timer" printed in the console, but the scheduled timer never fires. Any thoughts?

func startTimer() {
    print("start timer")
    let timerDidFire: (Timer) -> Void = { timer in
        print("timer")
        self.updateLabels()
    }

    timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1, repeats: true, block: timerDidFire)
}

Be sure that you're executing your timer in main thread. You can check current execution in thread by:

print(Thread.current)

If not main, call your timer here:

DispatchQueue.main.async {
    // here is your timer
}

This below methods are working perfect in WatchOS 3 for Timer.

func startTimers() {
        RefreshTimer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 60, target: self, selector: #selector(InterfaceController.RefreshData), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
    }

    func stopTimers() {
        RefreshTimer.invalidate()
    }
