Pixel Watch 2's Always-On Display Makes App Launching Faster with Single Tap
-
The Pixel Watch 2's AOD lets you instantly launch complications with a single tap, unlike the original Pixel Watch which requires two taps.
-
This is convenient if you disable raise-to-wake to save battery life.
-
Tapping a complication instantly launches the app, e.g. media controls.
-
There's a slight delay if the watch hasn't been active recently.
-
One downside is you have to be careful not to accidentally launch apps if you just wanted to see the watch face.
