Watchface recommendation:Rails

I have been through a number of watch faces that have options for metrics (I like a lot of metrics on my watchface) and they're usually a drain on the battery (expected) rails, might be the best I've found. There's a bevy of options for face metrics and themes, but the watchface also isn't the big of a battery hog. 

It also has a baked-in night time battery saver mode where all the metrics are removed (and polled) on the watchface. This is brilliant since I'm not looking at any of those things at rest. 

I had to charge my 945 last night and put it back on right before I went to sleep. With Rails my battery drain during sleep was 2% for approx 8 hours of sleep. Every other CIQ watchface I've been through has bordered on 10% use at during sleep.

It's not super flashy, but Rails is really good at keeping the battery drain to a minimum on this watch.

    I have used Rails for the last few months - it's been great.

    Typically a watchface shows just information andand does need a lot of power to show metrics. Metrics are recorded anyway.

    I've never seen anywhere close to a 10% battery drain at night with any CIQ watch face I've used, but I do tend to only use ones I wrote.

    In general, CIQ watch faces are very restricted in what they can do to keep battery drain to a minimum. A "busier" WF can have a larger drain than a simple one though, as can those that show seconds all the time, but still not a great deal higher..
