What is the Always-on Display on the Apple Watch Series 5?

With the Apple Watch, you always have messages, appointments and calls in direct view on your wrist. The Apple Watch Series 5 has the new "Always-on Display" feature built in. This is a display that is constantly on. So the watch doesn't always have to be activated.

What exactly is always-on display?

An always-on display is a display that always shows an image and does not turn off in between to save power. This is a very useful feature, especially for smartwatches, since most people would like to read a watch without tapping it first.

1. The highlight of the new always-on displays is that the display only consumes one percent of the battery power in an hour. Quite unlike a normal display, which eats a large amount of energy as long as it is on.
2. To use the Always-on display, you must first enable this in the settings. To do this, go to the Apple Watch on the settings.
3. Here you tap on the option "Display & Brightness" and then further on "Always on". Aktivieren Sie den Schalter neben den Worten „immer eingeschaltet.“
4. Des Weiteren sollten Sie die Option „Sensible Komplikationen ausblenden“ aktivieren. So werden persönliche Daten, wie Ihre Herzfrequenz und andere Daten, nicht angezeigt, sobald Sie den Arm senken.
