There is also a night display mode.

Amazfit
Always-On Retina LTPO OLED; up to 2000 nits, as low as 1 nit; 326 ppi

LTPO is a panel technology that can lower the refresh rate dramatically, letting the display stay dimly on when the wrist is down. The 1-nit minimum avoids glare in a dark room.

Positioning and navigationDual-band and single-band modes; 6 satellite systems; offline maps, turn-by-turn directions, route import, back-to-start and off-route alerts

Dual-band positioning receives two frequencies from the satellites to reduce drift from reflected signals among tall buildings and dense trees; it uses more battery. Automatic mode switches settings based on signal strength.

Apple
Chip—S9 SiP; 64-bit dual-core processor, 4-core Neural Engine Apple
Storage—64 GB Apple
Controls—Digital Crown with haptic feedback, side button, double tap gesture

Double tap lets you answer notifications or calls by tapping the thumb and index finger of the watch hand together twice, without touching the screen.

Apple
Health sensors—Electrical heart sensor, third-generation optical heart sensor, temperature sensing

The electrical sensor is for ECG recordings; the optical sensor measures pulse with light. Temperature sensing tracks overnight changes in wrist temperature.

Apple
Blood Oxygen (US)—On watches sold in the US without the feature, a redesigned version arrives with iOS 18.6.1 and watchOS 11.6.1; the reading is calculated on iPhone

The watch collects sensor data, the paired iPhone calculates the value and shows it in the Health app. Watches bought outside the US are not affected.

Apple
Other sensors—Compass, always-on altimeter, high-g accelerometer, high dynamic range gyroscope, ambient light sensor Apple
Location—L1 GPS, GNSS, Galileo and BeiDou

It is a single-frequency (L1) receiver; drift in cities can be more likely than with dual-frequency watches.

Apple
Wireless—Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), Bluetooth 5.3, second-generation Ultra Wideband

Ultra Wideband lets you locate an iPhone 15-family phone with Precision Finding showing direction and distance; availability varies by region.

Apple
Battery and charging—Up to 18 hours normal use, up to 36 hours in Low Power Mode; fast charge to about 80% in 45 minutes

Fast charging requires Apple’s fast-charging cable and a suitable adapter.
