Is the watch display on constantly or do you have to press a button?

HelloThis watch has a mirasol display screen which stays on all the times and you don't have to press any button to bring the screen on.

On constantly - that's the great thing about the Qualcomm display tech - it requires extremely little power, so it's on of the few smartwatches that's displaying the time all the time.

The display is always on. I own five smart watches. The Toq has one of the nicest displays and last for days before needing a charge

It's on constantly. Easy to see. You tap watch if you want light on at night. Watch easy to see in dim light so seldom need to turn light on. I find that it lasts me a week between charges. I have had several smart watches and the toq is the best by a long way. Al

I can't answer that definitively, but I have definitely left mine on for a couple of days at a time. But literally there is only one button, and then a volume dial. It should be simple enough to say "push this button to turn it on".

it speaks only when the appropriate button (lower right) is pushed so the wearer has control of when it speaks. i rely heavily on my watch every day. billie adrian bijjie1@aol.com

Why would you need to do that? The watch only speaks the hour if you touch the button to hear what time it is.

Yes. It's the display button on the right side. Push and release repeatedly until you get the clock.

When you tap the watch face it can be used as a fifth button. You might be switching screens by doing this when you are using. You would have to check the settings in the MapMyRun app. Otherwise it might be a bug in the app. I would suggest trying Wahoo Fitness app with this watch. They offer the most customization for the watch and you can upload the data from them to a lot of other apps as well.

I have not experienced this issue. I've had my watch for about 9 months and the only time I've reset it is if I did it on my own.

As long as the sensor is in range of the watch and it is in that mode it is continuous

It has a normal watch function as well. However if you do not to intend to use this as your daily wrist watch (like I do -- I only use it for trainings), you will have to re-set the time again every time your turn it on after a while of being turned off. Not really a big deal but I can do without the frequent setting of time for sure. Usually I'll just ignore setting the time since I'll turn it off immediately after training anyway.

Hey Annie.Yeah it is really simple to use. You just select run. This will give you the option to turn on the GPS, the heart rate monitor and or the foot pod and press ok. It will link your sensors and get a GPS signal, which normally takes anywhere from 10 secs to a minute. Click start and away you go! I really like my watch. I'd recommend them for sure. Tapping the front of it doesn't always light up the display though which is slightly annoying. But other than that it's great.

Just FYI the Timex Iron man with chest strap continuously shows heart rate so you don't have to keep poking the button throughout your workout.

Your watch may need a new battery or it is dying. My first watch acted similarly. I just bought another one just like it because I like the heart monitor feature.

You can turn the walkie talkie function off and on my pushing and holding the power button but the watch function is always on.

It does not show the time display all the time. You have to push the button a few times to rotate to the clock display.

I just changed the battery. It depends on usage. I have on average ran 3-4 times per week of about an hour. It lasts about 5 months, and is super easy to switch :-) I also use it as a watch every day. Hope this comment helps.

I bought it for my mother. I'm pretty sure that it does not automatically announce the time every hour. When she wants to know the time, she pushes a little button on the side. When she is waiting for something she pushes it every 5 mins. But, she loves the watch!

There is no display button on the face. it is done in the menu. You can turn clock on or off. If a track is playing it won't show the clock.
