Apple watch 4 (Always-on-display)

Why can't apple watch 4 gets always-on display? It has same LTPO OLED Retina display as apple watch 5, same S4 Processor, same W3 Wireless chip.

I think its better if Watch 4 gets Always-on display and have an option to turn that feature ON & OFF based on the battery life performance. I honestly don't care if the battery stand-by gives 14 hours instead of 18 hours. What are our opinions/comments?

If you agree please give a feed back/suggestions to apple on this page

Don't think its bad a idea if it did not impact other things. I think its not something that can be enabled through software only without really impacting battery life.

I'm pretty sure the screen hardware on the Series 5 has something the Series 4 does not, which makes giving the Series 4 an always on display not really viable.
