Today being Saturday, it is not the normal watch wearing day. I sleep in longer, am much more casual after waking up, so I usually don't take my watch off the charger until noon. Consequently, today's battery life is more about how it does on a weekend than the work week. 

Right now at 8 PM the watch has 47% battery left. Android Wear says there is 8 hours of battery life left, while Wear Battery Stats says it has 4 hours left. I think Wear Battery Status is still learning about the battery life on the watch. 

One of the cool features of the Huawei Watch is that it has an AMOLED screen, which supports a low-powered, black and white, always-on mode. If you have a Moto X, it is the same type of display that allows it to always display the clock and notifications while the screen is locked. I am finding that always-on makes the watch much more functional. 

Today I had my first "glitch" with the Huawei Watch .  Normally the watch automatically switches from full display to always-on, low powered display. I found this works with the built-in Android timer this evening when I was grilling. 

I told Google to set a timer for 10 minutes, which the watch promptly implemented and shortly the screen switched to always-on mode with the timer displaying and updating. I thought this was cool, it enables me to quickly see how much time is left before I flip the chicken. 

However, after the timer alarm went off and swipping to stop the "alarm" the screen stayed fully powered on and would no longer automatically switch to always-on mode, instead I had to manually initiate the change by pressing the crown. 

After finishing cooking and eating dinner I restarted the watch and that resolved the always on display issue. It will be interesting to see whether this is a single occurrence or a bug with the timer app on the watch that prevents it from changing modes.
