OnePlus Watch may get Always-on display feature with a future update

OnePlus Watch could get the Always-on Display feature. The company has AOD listed on its latest OxygenOS 11 update, and from now on, all the new OnePlus AMOLED-packed phones are expected to come with it.

The much anticipated OnePlus Watch is yet to go on sale, however, the community has already started suggesting improvements to it on the forums. OnePlus really isn’t a big fan of Always-on Display (AOD), it seems. It took a strong community vote to almost force it to implement this feature on its smartphones. While some may consider it just a “nice to have” on smartphones, AOD may be more important on smartwatches where you need to have access to information almost instantly. In a recent forum discussion, OnePlus asked its community members whether the AOD feature should be made available on the OnePlus Watch in the future. The company justified why it did away with the AOD feature and how it could be implemented in a future update. The company said in a statement, “The one thing we unanimously seemed to agree upon is that having to charge our smartwatch daily really affected our experience. If we forgot to charge it overnight, a few minutes of charging before we head out isn’t enough, and the battery dies later in the day. We’ve heard many users request the Always-on Display, we are currently looking at things like how it impacts power consumption. we are evaluating the possibility to bring this feature in a future OTA.”
