Dark screen

Screen functionality can be controlled from separate apps. It's an AMOLED display, and on these, usally the screen stays on until battery is below 15% or so. It dims down, though. IMO dark colored screens look better than light colored ones. Some watches have a dim function, whereby hands and numbers get lumed, whereas the rest goes dark. In Montblanc's case the screen inverts and goes black with the hands and numbers countoured in white. In addition, usually the seconds counter on a smartwatch is only active for five seconds, and then freezes until you move you wrist again.

General screen brightness is a standard setting function. How long a watch screen stays active, i e with full light, or a moving seconds counter etc, can be set with third party apps. It's important to realize that the time functionality is just one function, and really it's all the other functions that makes a smartwatch. For example, you can text someone with voice entry, straight from the watch, you just say "OK Google, text so and so and say the message", or set an appointment in your calendar, or a reminder, or start a shopping list etc. These will be available from your phone or PC online.
