AOD on all the time - need that to use my phone as a key.
Ford EV requires AOD on to unlock my car.

And no doesn’t use as much battery as you would think as both refresh rate and brightness dim significantly.

On.
For me it's the most quality of life enhancing feature since FaceID.

On. One of the main reasons for why I bought the Pro model
On with background off, notifications on.
It doesn't use a lot of battery in my experience, so why not use it.

When I had a 14 I found AOD too distracting. For example if my phone has AOD and laying up I’d instinctively look at it like a trained mouse. I left it off and I don’t feel a need for AOD. I definitely like how android does AOD. It’s less distracting. Now I love AOD on my Apple Watch.
Considering it uses barely any battery since its at a 1hz level, I love it because when my phone is on the desk I can glance over and see the time, or if I have any notifications, etc without turning on the screen each time (Which saves even more battery and its just convenient) and I do not always look at my watch. No one needs to give you a reason lol, Thats why there is an option to turn it on or off, Do what you prefer, why would we have to give you a reason to decide? LOL
I just wish Apple would give us the same multi-color option for the widgets and date as we get for the time. Makes no sense why we cant get that added.
I don't make my decisions by popular vote, or by pretending I'm a guest on the Dr. Phil show. It was an honest question to see if there was some feature I wasn't aware of that would change my mind. I'm open to listen and learn from others, I didn't ask because I wanted to know if I was one of the "cool kids".
If I could change the clock's typeface I would leave it on. But as it is, I don't need the clock so ridiculously big on AOD. I really, really miss the old edge clock from my Galaxy S23. Big enough to see to check the time and notifications, but not so big to be a distraction.
This thread helped me out! I've always left it off, thinking that having an AW made it redundant, but someone mentioned being able to see live scores. Now I'm loving it. So thank you!
I turned it on when I first go my 15 PM last year but didn't really care for it so it has been off since.
I have a focus to auto turn AOD on while at home.
AOD is massively useful at home, because you don't wear your watch, you put your phone on the couch/table/beside the keyboard
