 🌙 Galaxy Fit 3 AOD function

The Galaxy Fit 3 features AOD (Always On Display).
This function continues to show time even when the screen is turned off.
The function that only existed in smart watches is now available in Fit3.

In this article, the meaning of AOD, how to set it up, battery impact, and tips for using it are summarized simply and clearly.

💡 What is AOD?

AOD is short for Always On Display.
When this feature is turned on, the time, date, battery, and notification icons are still displayed even if the screen is turned off.

I can look at my watch without lifting my wrist
It is also convenient during exercise or during meetings.
In other words, you can think of it as a watch screen that does not completely turn off and remains dark.

⚙️ How to set AOD

AOD is initially off.
You have to turn it on yourself to use it.

1. How to Set Up in Galaxy Fit3

On the Band screen, open the Setting menu.

Select the Display item.

Turn on the Always On Display option.

2. How to set up in the smartphone wearable app

When I turn it on, even when the screen turns off
The clock face is darkened,
If you move your wrist or touch the screen, it will light up again.

🔋 Battery usage time

It is convenient to turn on AOD, but the battery life is shortened.
According to Samsung official data, as follows.

AOD Off Status → Up to approximately 13 days of use

AOD on → Up to 3.5 days of use

In other words, turning on AOD reduces battery life by about a quarter.
So it's good to turn it off normally and turn it on only when you need it.
You can use it longer if you leave it off, especially when you go out or travel for a long time.

🎨 AOD screen appearance

The AOD screen varies slightly depending on the watch face design selected.
Even if you choose a light-colored face,
When AOD is turned on, the screen automatically darkens, saving power.

Even if the brightness is lowered, the clock is clearly visible,
You can check it comfortably at night or indoors without glare.

🧩 Tips for using AOD

Use with Brightness Auto Adjustment
→ The screen is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the surroundings, saving the battery.

→ If the AOD light bothers you when you sleep,
If you leave the night mode on, the screen will automatically turn off.

Leveraging Battery Saving Mode
→ If you go out for a long time, AOD automatically turns off when you turn on saving mode.

🪄 AOD, should I turn it on?

I recommend turning on AOD for the following people.

a frequent ticker

Conversely, it is better to turn off AOD if it falls under the following.

When battery life is critical

After all, AOD can be determined by what you consider more important, convenience or battery time.
