Re: Always On Display
Most truly mechanical watches do not have batteries and, if they don't self-wind, last a couple of days.
To answer the other question, though, my watch is also my workout watch, and being able to see workout stats at a glance without an exaggerated wrist raise or tap of the face is definitely a strong point of AOD. And my Series 2 was only the second watch I ever had that didn't show the time all of the time - only an early 70's red element LED watch needed a button press to show the time. As I said, I recharge my watch every day, so I don't need battery life longer appreciably than that.
Sure, but how many mechanical watch batteries last 24 hours? I think you’ll find most last around 2 years!
