My app requires the always-on screen, so I'd like to send users to the Display settings only in case they have their "always-on screen" set to false. How can I achieve that?
How can I determine the value of the "always-on screen" Display user setting programmatically?

Sorry this is not a full solution, but I suspect with some heuristics you should be able to get quite close.
Not sure about checking directly, but indirectly you can probably detect the absence of Ambient mode.
https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/overlays/always-on
Look at AmbientModeSupport and WearableActivity.
If you don't receive these callbacks before a pause event, it's like that the Ambient mode is not enabled. And on next launch you can prompt the user.
There are examples for Compose and Views https://github.com/android/wear-os-samples/tree/main/AlwaysOnKotlin for Ambient mode.
