It would be great if you could define two separate watch faces for the "always on" mode:
The first would be displayed in the darker standby, when the backlight is currently not activated by the gesture.
The second watch face would be activated by the gesture recongition.
So for example only the simple clock hands in very dark grey when inactive (battery saving and simple). And the one with all datafields when activated through gesture.
What do you think of the idea?
