WearablesGuys, what do you think about the claims in this article? Interesting! I will test this and see if it actually works:
Imagine having no effect on battery life with always on with your Galaxy Watch?
Enabling the always-on display (AOD) on Samsung Galaxy Watches can surprisingly improve battery life due to a dedicated low-power coprocessor introduced with the Galaxy Watch 4, which handles the AOD without engaging the main processor.
The AOD utilizes this coprocessor to update information and run minimal sensors, avoiding the power drain associated with the main processor waking up the full Wear OS interface and handling multiple inputs.
To maximize battery savings with AOD, it's crucial to disable the 'Raise wrist to wake' gesture and 'Touch screen to wake' features, as the main processor's activation is the primary battery consumer, not the AOD itself.
Further battery conservation can be achieved by disabling the 'Turn on screen when notifications are received' setting, shifting the focus from limiting display time to minimizing processor activity for extended battery performance.
