Venu SQ Always-On display

As the Venu SQ doesn't have an Amoled-Display, does the option to switch on the Always-On-Display can damage the screen?

    Always on is also involved in preserving battery.  If it's off, the battery will last longer.

    This isn't an issue with Memory In Pixel (MIP) on most other Garmin watches.

    Thanks jim_m_58. But how is it compared to the Amoled-display of the Garmin Venu? Regarding Phones I think only phones with Amoled-Display have an Always-On-Display, not only because of the battery life, but as far as I know AOD can damage normal displays. When choosing this option on the Garmin Venu SQ, there is the message "it may impact display longevity".

    Yes, there's a chance of that too.  Infact in CIQ apps, there's a flag called "requiresBurninProtection".

    Under normal conditions with a watch face, it's limited to 10% of the pixels being on at any time, and no single pixel can be on more than 3 minutes.

    Would you recommend the Always-On-Display on the Venu SQ? And if only during the night this option is switched off?

    The things I mentioned are to both prevent burnin and preserve battery.  "Always on" is a trade off when it comes to battery
