watch display

Wrist readout panel

The screen or face of a watch that shows time and other information.

On traditional watches, the display consists of hands moving across a dial; on digital watches, it shows numerals directly.

Smartwatch displays function like small touchscreens, showing notifications, fitness data, and apps alongside the time: The watch display was too dim to read in sunlight.
