Disable Always On Display
If you have an Apple Watch Series 5 or newer — except for the Apple Watch SE — you’re probably rocking the Always On display, so it feels like you have an actual watch on your wrist.
This is a great feature, and it’s actually not that demanding since the display stays dim and only updates once per second; however, it still takes some power, which can be a bit draining on an older Apple Watch where it helps to conserve as much power as you can.
Here’s how to get rid of the Always On display:
- Open the Watch app.
- Go to Display & Brightness.
- Tap on Always On.
- Disable Always On.
You can also do it on your Apple Watch by going to Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On and disabling this feature.
