StayLit Wear: Longer Backlight
Adjust the display light timeout of your watch
Note: StayLit Wear requires Wear OS 3 (e.g. Galaxy Watch 4) 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 smartwatchs 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, 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) force the light to be switched off when you lower your arm or turn your wrist, independently of the value you set in StayLit.Whats 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...Problems/suggestions? Please contact me at [email protected] adapted selection menu to new Wear OS guidelines

This is not even installing on my watch fake don t pay
Does not work on ticwatch pro. Wear os 2.34 version H. What a waste..
Cheating, doesn't work on Samsung galaxy S4 watch
I have galaxy watch 4 with wear os 3.2, doesn't work at all. Don't waste your money.
Great app for watch 4.
DO NOT BUY THIS APP. Literal-cashgrab.
Great utility. My smart watch going dark every couple of seconds used to drive me nuts! Not any more...
Just installed so will update if changes, but working great! I set it to 30 seconds and it worked as expected.
Close Enough ! I did not know the shake to sleep gesture wasn't really all embedded gesture with no way to turn off but instead is a battery saving tool that sleeps the watch when IT thinks I'm done because of how the watch is facing . I got this watch to be mobile . This app has fixed the issue of the screen sleeping when I don't want it to . It will sleeps when I shake it on the watch face but I actually like that feature now . Well worth 1/2 the price of a cup of coffee
This app is a miracle! Setting it to unlimited prevents foreground activities from going to sleep mode when you lower your wrist!. It also stops the screen from turning off when take your watch off! I use this to stop the "Samsung Health Workout Screen" from dimming while exercising. Previously I could not read all the metrics in the 5 second "raise to wake" window before the screen dimmed and becomes unreadable outdoors in the sun. I also use this to lock onto GPS before my run. I can now turn on GNSS (a gps reader app) and place the watch by my window to get a GPS lock. Previously when I did this the watch will automatically go to sleep since it would detect I was no longer wearing it. I wish this also worked on just the watch face (effectively disabling the lower-wrist-to-sleep gesture) so that the watch sleeps only based on the specified time after the last touch. Currently this app is a great workaround to fix wear os's lack of user settings. I am afraid any updates to this app or wear os may break it. (Please make sure any future updates keep foreground apps from sleeping because of the lower-wrist-to-sleep gesture). Thanks!
