Thoughts on turning off always on display? (alien.top)

I just got the new AW Ultra and the battery lasted me about a day and a half. Then Without meaning to I turned off the Always On and it’s been 12 hours since last full charge and it just hit 90%…. That’s such a relief.

my belief is that it's a watch and a basic necessity of such a thing is an always-on display

Yes. I spent three years with the Series 2 constantly frustrated during running workouts when I would glance at the watch and see nothing - my "wrist raise" apparently wasn't strong enough. Sometimes even exaggerated wrist raise didn't work and I'd have to tap the display. I've had AOD since getting the Series 5. It's a must-have feature for me.
