How is the display on ZenWatch?

[tampitzel]

Hey guys, had an LG G Watch until about 3 days ago.

I want to get a new watch, and this time i want an amoled one. From what i understand an amoled display only lights up the pixels that should be lit, as for the rest of them they stay black.

i noticed the lack of this convenience on my LG G Watch. During night time, whenever checking the watch, I could notice the whole screen was lit up, which kinda bothers me, it kinda ruins the whole "just like a normal watch" experience.

Can you let me know how an AMOLED watch like this one shows time in idle mode, during the night? Thanks!

Dan

This watch uses low bit ambient. What this means is the color bit depth of the display gets lowered, meaning the amount of colors that can be displayed decreases. It also disables anti-aliasing so the display gets a very grainy appearance. This does have the benefit of lowering power consumption even further and reducing burn-in of the display but causes all watch faces without design considerations for low bit ambient to look bad.
