Just received OTA update here in Belgium (build MEC23G) and aside of the new gestures (wich are quite nice) and other small modifications...they seems to have fixed the ugly always on mode!!
Now, the always on mode looks like the dim settings in the watchfaces making apps (seems like they finally agreed to disable the low bit ambient mode)
Edit: adding some screenshots (made with the wear app):
On mode:
Ambient mode:
About > versions screen:
EDIT 2: about battery life; watch fully charged, put off the charger at 12, moderate use with notifications on, wifi on, always on mode on and wrist activation on, still 42% at 2am (14h later so). Not bad for myself, but can't really tell if worse or better than previous firmware (the watch was a birthday present, got it only since 28th of january)
And as for the lags, all clear also until now.
