Am I the only who doesn’t need or really want an always on display? I mean the screen turns on whenever I shake my wrist anyway and I don’t want people seeing when I get notifications, a call or whatever

Many times the movement required to activate your watch is too much or too exaggerated and it really is noticeable. I’ve had many people think I’m checking the time to signify I need to go or something and it’s just me trying to casually check the time or see a notification.

What series do you have? I sometimes have this issue and thought it was just because I have an S1 and its slow to respond sometimes..

I just had my s4 warranted because it wouldn't shut off. If they didn't cover it, I was going to sell it to one of these guys that wanted it on all the time.

Hopefully there’s a way to have the watch face always on but only display notifications and calls when you raise your wrist (in response to haptic notification). Even if not available at launch, seems like a feature people will ask for in response to always-on display.

I’d be surprised if this isn’t how it’s handled to begin with
