   No, most connect to the phone via bluetooth. Also, most do not do phone   
   calls at all, just tell you that there is a call incoming.

   That needs more battery, so bigger and more expensive.

   AFAIK mine doesn't.

   Depends on the type of display. Mine is off most of the time, and lights   
   up automatically when I move my arm to see the time. It detects that   
   type of movement. Or I double tap the display.   
      
   There are watches, more expensive than mine, with a display always on.   
   Not LED, no light. The one I saw seemed to have an LCD display besides a   
   LED layer.
