Always on display is off whilst charging

Is anyone else aggrieved that the Apple Watch series 5 misrepresents the fact that the display is always on? It turns off whilst charging, so I can’t see the time. Surely this means the product is not as described...

Yeah! But I assumed, especially with the Nightstand (bedside) mode, it would mean it was on all the time and I could just, you know, look at it. This is why I skipped all the earlier generations as I didn’t want a watch that I had to interact with to see the time.


Surely Apple could make it not turn off when charging, it is sold as “Always On”. In the UK we have laws that retail items have to be “as described”.
