Understanding the Always-on Display Feature
The always-on display on the Amazfit Bip is a handy feature that lets you see the time, date, and other basic information without needing to raise your wrist or tap the screen. While this is great for quick checks, it constantly uses power, leading to a shorter battery life.
Why Turn Off the Always-on Display?
There are several reasons why you might want to turn off the always-on display on your Amazfit Bip:
- Extend Battery Life: The most compelling reason is to conserve battery power and extend the time between charges.
- Reduce Screen Burn-in: While not a major concern with e-ink displays, prolonged static images on the screen can lead to a slight burn-in effect, especially on AMOLED displays.
- Minimize Distractions: Having the screen constantly on can be distracting, especially in dimly lit environments or during sleep.
