Thoughts on turning off always on display? (alien.top)

I just got the new AW Ultra and the battery lasted me about a day and a half. Then Without meaning to I turned off the Always On and it’s been 12 hours since last full charge and it just hit 90%…. That’s such a relief.

I definitely leave it off now after a short test of not using it it’s a tremendous difference for me I have the ultra

Y’all with the Ultra/Ultra 2 are lucky. I picked up an S5 when the S6 was new specifically to use with AoD. Fast forward to current year and, with both the degraded (80%) health and watchOS 10 being a battery hog, AoD makes the difference between being able to track my workout after work or my watch not even making it to the end of the workday.

That said, it definitely looks nicer when the watch on your wrist isn’t just a black screen. I can live (well, have to live) without AoD since I can just flick my wrist upward, but it feels more respectable when you and people around you can see a watch face on the black rectangle on your wrist, or that’s how I feel at least…

If you leave it off, just get a SE

First thing I turned off. I don't see the watch face if it's not facing me. I don't care if other people know the time from my watch. lol

It would drive me nuts to have a blank screen even for a second
