Clock Face Issues & Battery Drain

[Sam1am]

All of a sudden my Sense is showing the time very big in the middle of the screen, battery life, and date while I'm not touching it (when it has normally been blank), and the battery life is draining very quickly. When I press the screen, or face it towards myself, the clock face I choose shows as normal. I'm assuming the battery is draining because it is not going blank as it always has. I've used the same clock face forever, and haven't added any apps or made any changes. The battery has normally lasted a full week, but is now lasting about two days.

@Sam1am This sounds like you have Always On Display activated. Swipe to the right of your screen and you should be able to disable it.

You are a lifesaver! Worked for me - thank you so much 🙂

That worked after I was able to figure out which icon to tap. However , I didn't turn it on to begin with.  It happened after the latest update.  I never even knew you could do that.

I have also managed to switch on the "Always On" display accidentally more than once, which (I think) shows that the ergonomics on the Sense aren't as good as they might be. I look at the watch and see that "Always On" is somehow on, although I haven't deliberately changed anything. I'm guessing it's due to accidental presses on the button, although no other setting seems to change.
