Which display technology in the "Pandora's box" model appeals to you? Is it the deep blacks and vibrant colors of AMOLED, or the more stable brightness and longer battery life of LCD? Both have advantages in certain situations — which is more important to you?

I went with AMOLED on my last smartwatch because that deep black really makes notifications pop—especially in dark mode. The color contrast is just unbeatable when I'm checking heart rate or weather in a low-light café. But yeah, I noticed the battery takes a hit after a few months, so I had to adjust brightness more often than expected.
That said, my coworker swears by his LCD model because he never worries about screen time. He gets five days straight without charging, and the outdoor visibility is solid in direct sunlight. For him, consistency beats aesthetics every time.
