Gear 3 display won't stay on

[Ozzysun]

Trying to set display to stay on always.. I went into settings.. And set the display to always on.. But it won't.. Acts just like it does when it's not set to always on... Any tips or tricks

If you're not using a stock Samsung face sometimes it won't do always on. Facer has this problem.

It's stock

You're not using Power Save mode by chance are you? (Grasping at straws here now)

No I'm not.. It is an ATT connected device if that matters

Hmmm, mines Bluetooth only so I'm not sure if that matters.

Even the guy at the Samsung kiosk in best buy didn't know why.. 2nd device in a week same exact thing

You said you went into Display to turn Always On. This setting is actually under Styles. Also, if the watch is not snug on your wrist, it will not stay on. The screen turns off when it thinks you are not wearing it.

Only other thing that occurs to me is mine is set for auto dim on, eg when the watch figures out it's under my shirt sleeve, the display gets really dim/ blank (since there's literally no way to see it under a sleeve).

I was thinking this to, but didn't suggest it as I assume the OP knows the difference, maybe not though I dunno. Good thoughts.

Seems to me it's a setting of some kind... Very low odds of two defective watches
