Can I keep the watch face on all the time?

No. The manual has all of this info.

You can keep the "ambient" watch face on all the time. This is a very stripped-down version of your normal selected watch face, and it only displays the watch hands or digital time in dim white. Very handy, but nothing like the full watch face.

Nightdiff, if the watch face were fully on at all times, your battery wouldn't get you through more than a few hours. The watch should "wake up" with a slight movement of your arm.

In my case, and I've read of several others, that movement required more force than it should have. Most people seem to be seeing the opposite, that the watch perhaps wakes up too easily.

I sent mine back as being defective. I may order another one but plan to wait for a bit to monitor how some of the other problems are dealt with. I think these forums are a good way to do that.

I understand that the battery would only last a few hours but that's not a problem. If I'm going out to a social event for a few hours I wanted to keep the face on even if it dies in a few hours.

Someone posted a trick to get the watch to keep the watch face on all the time. Have not tested it yet myself but they say it works.
