Wear OS 6 is supercharging the always-on display with media controls and more
Your always-on screen now does way more

Most top smartwatches have had always-on displays (AODs) for a while now, letting you check the time, for example, without lifting a finger. The Pixel Watch has had AOD since day one, but Wear OS never really played nice with it. So, if you’re using an app that doesn’t support AOD and you drop your wrist, all you get is a fuzzy version of the screen with the time slapped on top.
