Always on and bedtime?

[rKunda]

This is my first Apple Watch. Taking getting used to how to use it.

I did have to throw it into theater mode at bed time last night because the always on was visible in a dark room. Anyone else run into this?

I have always done this with both my S0 & S3 Watches. Plus I have them on Do Not Disturb and Water Mode.

Do not disturb is synced with my phone. Kind of wish it was automatic but it is what it is.

Theater mode

I noticed our watches lighting up last night. Having had an Apple Watch 3 for several years I thought my wife was moving but nope just the always on display from her AW 5. Wasn’t enough to keep me from sleeping. I just assumed during bedtime it would turn off?

I didn’t see my watch on last night at all

Another vote for Theater Mode. I’ve been using that since it’s inception to save battery overnight (and irritation aggravation from my wife).

Use the combo Theater Mode and Do Not Disturb that will turn off the display until you tap it and turn off vibration from notification

Hopefully they come up with the option to schedule the always on feature - I’d love to be able to have more control over it like with night shift and dark mode

Thanks. This is enough for me to get one. Big complaint is it not being on in bedtime mode. Would love to use it as my alarm clock

I don’t have a Series 5, it with my S3 I put in DND and Theater mode at night and set the alarm on my phone. The display stays dark and I don’t get notifications through the night. When the alarm goes off, my phone gives an audible alarm and my watch vibrates. I can then turn off or snooze the alarm from my watch.

Overnight only used 7% versus 20% last night with AOD. Definitely a cost to AOD.

Do you all wear the watch to sleep or charge overnight?

I wonder if it would be distracting during love making.

This would be a very nice feature.

Maybe, if done in complete darkness . <cough>

I wear my S3 in bed due to sleep tracking.

I wear mine to bed as I track my sleep using AutoSleep
