Is the watch face an "Always" on watch face or do you have to turn your wrist or press a button to see what time it is? null

Always on. No aspect or detail of the face ever disappears. The face doesn’t “light up” like an Apple or other similar smart watches. The screen is brilliant and best in the brightest light (direct sunlight). In a dark room or at night push the side button, touch the screen or shake the watch and a back light will temporarily illuminate the screen. The only way the screen can ever go blank is by turning the watch completely off. Eventually this technology should replace the lift or shake to illuminate tech. That’s why the battery lasts several days instead of several hours between charges.

The Display is always on. The brighter the light the better the display! It really is great in the bright sunlight. 

There is an adjustable backlight which is useful in dim lighting or at night. That can be set to respond to wrist elevation and other tweeks as well

The display on the vivoactive 3 is always on.  There is a setting that you can enable that will allow the backlight to come on when you turn your wrist, but the display will always be on.

It’s always on, but when you turn your wrist the light becomes higher

Answer

The face is always on. You can touch the face to light it up to read it in the dark. You can also change the look of the face and customize it for your preferences.
