How bright is clock in Ambient ON mode?

[Techno-guy]

I'm really interested in the Urbane but my biggest thing is to make sure I have a watch that has a clock always on. I love that about my Pebble and I don't want to have to turn my wrist to have the watch turn on for the time.

I'm a bit confused about how bright the Always On clock face can be in Ambient mode? And, does it still brighten up more when you turn your wrist or is there is a "brightest" setting where it is always the same brightness?

You can set it to be always on. In that mode after awhile it switches to standby wear the watch face has reduced complexity. Some watch faces allow lot more customization than others. When you tap the screen or twist your wrist, it turns back into active watch face mode.

Got it. Thanks so much!!

Additionally you can use and app like WatchMaker and customise watch faces to have the ambient/dimmed face as bright or as dim as you want. Be aware though that a bright ambient or always on screen is the quickest way to drain your battery, but that's the same for pretty much all mobile devices.
