Which Apple Watch Has Always-On Display?
Great news for UK users: nearly all newer Apple Watch models, starting from the Series 5, feature an Always-On Display, including the Ultra 2. This allows your watch to show key information without raising your wrist. Explore our range of straps and accessories to enhance your Apple Watch experience.
What Is Always-On Display?
Introduced with the Apple Watch Series 5 in 2019, the Always-On Display keeps the screen active, showing the time, watch face, or the last-used app. It’s enabled by default but can be turned off to save battery, as it significantly impacts battery life (18-36 hours). The feature dims when your wrist is down or covered and disables the touchscreen to prevent accidental inputs. It’s inactive in Low Power or Theatre Mode.
Which Apple Watch Models Support Always-On Display?
Most models from the Series 5 onwards support Always-On Display, except the SE variants. Here’s a breakdown:
| Supports Always-On | No Always-On Display |
|---|---|
| Apple Watch Series 5 and newer | Apple Watch Series 4 and older |
| Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2 | Apple Watch SE (all models) |
Personalise your Series 5 or later with our Apple Watch Series 10 straps or Ultra 2 straps.
