Force always on display

[llhiatus]

Can I somehow get one of the trackers fitbit offers to have the display on all the time? After reading the Display part the docs seems possible, but Im sure there are restrictions.

If it is not possible to just set a flag have the AOD functionallity - are there any workarounds? For example setting the sensitivity for switching the display on super low.

Thanks!

Which tracker do you mean?

There are some AOD clockfaces and apps available for Versa 2, 3 and Sense.

The limitations on AOD are described here.

I have an app for sailing that includes a countdown timer of 5 minutes. During those 5 minutes I poke the display each 10 seconds. The poke method resets the autoOffTimer.

I have to advise to be very carfull with these workarounds because they are heavy on the Battery. My app background is black for that matter and there is little text shown/updated. 

setInterval(display.poke,10000)

I plan using a Charge 4.

My optimal scenario would be to show a digital clock face with seconds during the day. Lets say for about 16 hours.

When Im charging every night, would it be able to handle that?

I read that I have to reposition what is shown slightly every now and then to prevent screen burn in. 

Im sure that is possible with the API too right?

The API doesn't apply to Charge 4. It doesn't use Fitbit OS so it can't run third-party clockfaces.

**ahem**it. Why is the universe denying me a fitness band with always on display?
