When you need to subtly glance at the time or check your worko | Hackers Private Link

When you need to subtly glance at the time or check your workout metrics without raising your wrist, the always-on display (AOD) on your Apple Watch comes in handy. However, Apple makes it seem impossible to disable it temporarily. You either choose to leave it on or off, with no clear way to shut it down for a while. It might not be obvious, but there is a shortcut that can do just that.

While there is a toggle for enabling or disabling the AOD, it isn't super convenient. You need to open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, head to "Display & Brightness," tap "Always On," then disable the toggle next to "Always On." When you're just looking to disable AOD temporarily, this process is a pain — but only if you don't know where to look.
