Do you prefer a black rectangle of an Apple Watch? Or AOD?

You can. I have a “at the movies” focus that turns on DND mode when my GPS location is at my local movie theater (and off when I leave).

Hmm. That's pretty handy but I want a more generic one I can activate and forget about in multiple scenarios.

To me, the problem with AOD with an emissive watch face/screen is it's just busier than I want, and I especially feel that way in the sense that I'd probably just prefer a minimal/stripped look with timekeeping versus all my complications.

Also, I just like not having more screens around me. Outside of a very small number of edge cases, the raise to wake system always works for the cases I need to look at it, so in the real world where battery life is a consideration I'd rather save it for my workouts and tracking.

You could make a simple watch face without complications to use with AOD. You could even make a shortcut to switch to that face and turn AOD on with one tap.

That's one more tap than I want to

(But I guess this all gets back to wishing Apple gave us more customization options for watch faces!)
