The Always On Watch face feature

Last Update date : May 09. 2024

With the Always On Watch feature, there’s no need to press a button or turn the bezel on a Galaxy Watch or some Gear watches to show the time. Set the display to show at all times, letting you see the time whether it’s day or night. An active second hand has also been added to some watch faces for a further the sense of realism. Using the Always-On feature will increase battery consumption significantly.
