That was one of my concerns.
Now I've modified the code to only update the current time each minute.
Anyway, I don't think battery is wasted when Osmo is hidden because no screen refresh is due.
Moreover, screen refresh process is totally different in DR800 than in Iliad. *I guess* only the widget is updated, not the whole screen.
