Relative power draw of touch service

I’m considering modifying my watchface from using the AccelerometerService API (specifically the tap service) to using the new TouchService API, to give more options on displaying different information on the watch face depending on where the screen is touched.

I’m curious if anybody has already done some initial testing on the relative power draw of having the touchscreen enabled on the PT2?

Touch is not available in watchfaces at this time.

Generally, touch only consumes power while you’re touching the screen.

Ah, I didn’t notice that when reading the SDK docs, thanks!

Is it planned to make this available to watchfaces in some future SDK version, or is this an intentional design choice to make it available only to apps?

We’re still thinking about how Touch UX will work for watch faces.
