I can't believe this feature isn't already built into Android Wear. But it's not. Score one for Apple I guess. So you'll have to buy this app to get screen time control. Fortunately, the app works (on my tic watch pro 2020). Looks like the dev is really responsive as well. I had to install on the watch itself, but otherwise no issues.

The app is running great and all. However recently there is a notification on my watch "Staylit Wear - Longer backlight enabled - Swipe down to dissmis" but the notification is stay there forever, swipe is only hide current notifications. And next time I open notification it still there, and it seem to stay forever unless I disabled the app. I wish I could hide it ...EDIT: thank for the response, explain and update that alone worth to update this review to 5 stars (since it's a known limit)

Very useful app well worth the price. However stop working on my Huawei watch one since I switched from Samsung S8 to a Samsung note 9. I can find the app on the playstore on my watch but it just won't complete the installation...... Hope the problem could be solved soon. This is a really nice app and its function is vital.

After initially having problems getting app to work properly on my Fossil Gen5 watch, the designer contacted me directly and fixed the issue. I reinstalled the app on my watch and it works perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone with a Fossil Gen5, who's watch screen shuts off after 5 seconds

After time to familiarize with the app, and quick, thorough support from the developer, this watch face turned out very well in my Moto 360. I recommend it to anyone looking for a well coordinated watch face.

App is working fine since the update! Thanks! It is such a pleasure to work with a responsive developer! I'm sorry it won't let me delete my previous review before the app was repaired.

About this app

Note: StayLit Wear requires Wear OS 3 (e.g. Galaxy Watch 4/5/6, Fossil Gen 6, Pixel Watch) or Wear OS 2.2 System Version H (e.g. Fossil Gen 3/4/5, Ticwatch Pro/E3). To check your Wear OS version, open the Settings on the watch, then go to System > About > Versions. (System Version is a separate entry.)

Do you find your smartwatch's built-in backlight timeout period actually quite short? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could adjust the backlight timeout to have the screen stay on as long as you wish?

StayLit Wear lets you keep the light on for as long as you want - also for more than 30 seconds: 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or unlimited until you switch the display off. StayLit offers a fine-grained scale for values between 5 seconds and 30 seconds.

On the Galaxy Watch 4/5/6, the extended light timeout will also apply when the watch has been waked by a gesture (this is locked to 5 seconds by Samsung).

NOTE: Some watch models (e.g. Galaxy Watch 4/5/6) force the light to be switched off when you lower your arm or turn your wrist, independently of the value you set in StayLit.

What's more, StayLit Wear features “automatic” mode: the light stays on until you switch it off, but is also switched off when you lower your arm or turn the watch away from you. That way, the light will be on exactly when you need it. (Note that also in this mode, StayLit respects the individual light timeout of apps like Google Fit, Maps, or Runtastic.)


Note: Setting a significantly longer screen timeout will reduce battery life. We recommend using "automatic" mode, or setting a value of 10 - 30 seconds...
