Power is energy per unit time: one watt is one joule per second.

A little perspective

The power of 1 microwatt and the lcd watch draw of Digital wristwatch LCD draw are approximately the same.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

1 microwatt

The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.

NIST — SI conversion factors

Digital wristwatch LCD draw

A representative 1 microwatt draw for a simple always-on digital LCD wristwatch. Movement electronics, display drive, alarms, illumination and battery losses vary by design.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked lcd watch draw is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Power ↔ LCD watch draw
Relative size
The two selected measurements are approximately equal.

How to read the visual

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

  • Digital wristwatch LCD draw uses a 1 µW central value within a recorded range of 0.1 µW–10 µW.
  • Digital wristwatch LCD draw is labelled representative; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
  • The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
