Do you use a third party watchface with AOD on? If so which? Which uses less battery in AOD?

Hi,

I just tried some third party watchfaces. And I wonder which you guys use with AOD on. Which watcface doesn't drain the battery more than Garmin's own in AOD?

I tried "FR 945 LTE" which I really LOVE but you have to buy it and I don't know if it drains the battery much faster so I am torn.

And I tried "Apex Pro Like" but it shows everything in AOD like it does when it is completely turned on. Just less bright. So I guess it will drain the battery much faster.

When you are in low power (AOD is on) the screen only gets updated once a minute. But with AMOLED, whne a pixel is on, it takes more battery than when off, so you want to look at a black background and minimal pixels on. The max is actually 10% of the pixels on at one time. Mine are well under 10%. Try Simple Lean: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/2c632834-3bb2-4dfa-b008-4f6d48dda0cb
