What is your favorite battery Lock Screen widget?

Between the two:

The status line level with the percentage or the small round looking one without the percentage?
 
Okay, I guess battery widgets are not a popular choice here for some reason…

Just wanted to check others what type of battery widgets one uses the most or a favorite.
 
Never really seen the point of one as I can see the stats on the top right corner.
But I might be missing something here, is it to gather battery info and display batterystats from many sources?
Or are there any other reason to be using one.
 
This is my preferred battery widget, I find it easier to see at a glance than the one inside the battery icon top right.

I tried the one with the percentage status but I’m still unable to see the numbers at a distance. I’ll stick with the rounded one instead and seems to have a better look as well in my opinion.

Thanks.
 
If you are looking for a bigger number, install the app "Widgy". There you can find many different battery widgets which are very good readable.

Widgets on iOS in general are not popular I believe. Everybody I know that uses iOS pretty much literally uses their phones the traditional ios way. Aka before widgets.

Myself I have only recently began to use widgets after all these years.

I use the default widgets.

I don't have one on the lock screen, but I have this on my home screen...I find it easier to read than having battery percentage switched on.
