OnePlus Watch Could Get Always-on Display in Future Update

OnePlus is testing an always-on display feature for the OnePlus Watch that could be released in a future software update, provided it can overcome a skyscraper-sized hurdle: Battery life.

OnePlus has warned that the feature could increase power consumption by as much as 50%, a no-go for a device that was designed to be charged once as little as once a week.

“We are currently looking at things like how it impacts power consumption and are evaluating the possibility to bring this feature in a future OTA,” the company said during a recent Q&A.
