I like being able to use the watch without tapping the screen or using the digital crown, but I'm also an optimized battery enthusiast and like going two full days without charging.

And I raise my left arm a lot throughout the day.

I have aod=on and wristRaise=on, it adds 0.6% batt drain per hour. I measured the impact to batt drain. This combo is necessary, else i wouldnt be able to see the Simple watchface outdoors.

How did you measure this and how did you control for other parasitic types of drain? I wouldn't have asked you but you were so suspiciously specific it was screaming for more info haha
