But does the screen stay on? I used to have one of the first-gen Android Wear watches, an LG one. I really liked how it acted as an extension of my phone, it was particularly useful for voice queries (Google still beats the pants off Siri), and directions. But the best feature was that even when sleeping, the LCD screen would still show the time in black-and-white and with the backlight off. It still lasted a full day. Apple seems to have gone in a different direction, emphasizing the Watch as a fashionable fitness tracker. I don't care as much for the fitness tracking aspect: I'm not an athlete, and GPS tracking on my phone is usually enough to get a rough estimate of things I do. I also don't do workouts for the numbers, which Apple seems to be touting. Overall, they seem to have prioritized many other energy-draining features over doing the most basic thing I expect from a wrist-mounted device: displaying information. I've had an Apple Watch for almost a year, and its finickiness about turning on or off the display is by far my biggest annoyance.
