About the AMOLED Display
By default, the watch settings are optimized for battery life and performance (
).
Image persistence, or pixel "burn-in," is normal behavior for AMOLED devices. To extend the display life, you
should avoid displaying static images at high brightness levels for long time periods. To minimize burn-in, the
vívoactive 5 display turns off after the selected timeout (
Customizing the Display Settings, page 62
). You can
turn your wrist toward your body, tap the touchscreen, or press a button to wake the watch.
