Method 1- Enable Built-in Always-on Display

Most Wear OS smartwatches with an AMOLED display have the always-on display feature built-in. You can enable and use it directly from the watch or the watch’s companion app. We have the Galaxy Watch 4 with us, so let’s see how to enable the always-on display on it:

Step 1: Swipe up on the watch’s home screen

Step 2: Select Settings and click on Display

Step 3: Scroll down and enable the Always On Display toggle

Now, whenever the watch’s screen turns off, the always-on display screen will be activated.

Method 2- Use Always On Watch Face App

The Always On watch face is an app for Wear OS smartwatches that allows you to set minimalistic watch faces for the always-on display. You can modify the watch faces suitable for always-on display with less power consumption and simple designs. Follow the steps mentioned below to use it:

Step 1: Install the Always On Watch Face – Wear OS app on both your watch and the phone.

Step 2: Open it on your phone and here, you can change the background color, hands, dial, and enable the date display.

Step 3: After that, click on the watch icon and it will send the always-on display watch face to your watch’s companion app.

Step 4: Open your watch app and go to Watch faces.

Step 5: Go to the downloaded section where you will find the always-on display watch face with the name Always. Click on it and apply. Now, this watch face will be applied to your watch, and when the screen turns off, this will also be used in the always-on display feature.
