Did they bring back time travel?

What's the point of new faces if they don't have complications? At least give us the option to have more then the date and 1 complication!

So can anyone who has updated confirm that there are no changes to complications in either new or old faces in 5.1?

I'm beginning to get curious about the battery life implications of user interface choices. Do the number and identity of displayed complication affect it? Does the choice of a face? Take the Infograph face, for ex.: does it consume more power when the face is white than when it's black? Does it consume more power when fully loaded with complications than it does when displaying none at all?

In the same way, I wonder about the power consumption of Dark Mode in Mojave (for users of laptops, of course). Does white text displayed on a black background consume significantly less power?

Watch consumes less power on dark displays with OLED yes. Not on a Mac with an LCD display, it’s the same either way due to the technology. An OLED MacBook Pro is a different story though ...
