    You know, I’m just back to the Apple Watch so I’ve had it for, like, 4 days I believe. I love the AOD feature because I get really distracted every time I have to type something on my Mac’s keyboard the watch will light up - it annoys me. So AOD, time is always there when I want it and I love the Contour AOD face, but not its watch face. Wish I could have that AOD but with a different face.

    And since the last charge I’ve decided to test out the battery with and without AOD to see which could be more ‘valuable’ in terms of battery life vs convenience. I’m in the ‘AOD cycle’ as of right now, lol.

    The first charge I tested AOD off, raise to wake off too. That got me a day and a half and I put it on the charger at around 20%.

    So far with AOD on - love it to just take a glance and see the time, date and the weather temperature complication. So far I’m gonna hit a whole day in about two hours now. I’m at 51%, so it should go for a day and a half till I have to charge it again. I’m thinking at 15% or so by the end of this period, let’s see how it actually does, but apparently the drain will not be so significant as I thought.

    The only thing I’d have to test out is the AOD on the watch face I actually like ‘Modular Duo’ or ‘Infograph’.

    I have AOD on and Raise to Wake off. My battery lasts about 24 hours so I am rather satisfied.

    I think a better selection of choices would have been:

    • My Apple Watch is capable of AOD and I use it
    • My Apple Watch is capable of AOD and I don’t use it
    • My Apple Watch is not capable of AOD

    I use AOD, but not always. I have a shortcut to turn on/off.

    When I see myself on a situation constantly glancing (like next event while on the airport) the AW then I turn AOD on.
