What is the impact on battery life to have the screen update every second, versus every minute? Will it be possible to have the HR display, on faces that include it, rate-limited to achieve better battery life?

One of the nice things about Amazfit watches was that I could dial down the HR polling and get better battery life that way.




I think it's a little bit more. I don't know if I've ever measured it. You can definitely see it in battery life though. Using a watch face that only updates every minute will give you longer, better life.
