Turn on Power-Saving Mode.
Like the iPhone, the Apple Watch has its battery saver feature. By activating it, you will be able to continue seeing the time on your device, but you will reduce the consumption of the rest of the functions.
The functionalities that are lost while it is on are many, but if at some point you need to use the device as if it were a conventional watch, this function is ideal for prolonging the battery of your smartwatch.
To turn on the battery saver feature on Apple Watch, follow these steps:
- Swipe up to open the control center
- Tap the battery percentage icon
- Drag the “Save battery” slider and select “Continue.”
Turn on Airplane Mode or Turn off Notifications.
Continuously receiving notifications on your watch can use up quite a bit of battery. If you put it in airplane mode, you will still be able to use the sensors and other functions. Still, you will have the advantage of cutting off the device’s wireless connections to connect to WiFi networks or mobile data, such as Bluetooth linked with the iPhone, airpods or other devices.
Disable Some Features That Can Consume a Lot of Battery
You can also deactivate some functions that you don’t use or aren’t useful to you at certain times of the day and that use up a lot of battery… If you’re not exercising, for example, you might not be interested in knowing how many beats per minute you have.
The Apple Watch is equipped with a sophisticated heart rate monitor. Some people are interested in knowing their health status at all times, but if you don’t need to see this data continuously, you can turn it off quite easily or reduce the frequency it takes this data. You will still be able to know the information whenever you want by entering the heart rate monitor function from time to time.
Could You Turn It Off At Night?
The apple watch can monitor your sleep at night, which drains the battery like the heart rate sensor is used quite continuously.
Also, if you need to rush out of the house and don’t have time to charge it, at the same time, you get ready or take a shower. It is recommended that you set it overnight to put it on when you wake up and have the batteries charged during the day (literally and figuratively! ).
Also, if you are not too interested in this data or some night you do not have it at hand to charge it, you can save battery power by turning off this sleep monitoring function.
Disable Always-on Display
This is undoubtedly the function that could spend the most battery on your apple watch since it keeps the screen on to see the time.
As an alternative, you can always disable and have the screen turn on when you raise your wrist or simply when you hit the power button.
Keep Your Apple Watch Up To Date.
Conveniently, you have the updated software of your watch since, with the new versions, performance improvements are made, which will affect the battery.
You can check if you have any updates from the Apple Watch app on your iPhone by going to My Watch > General > Software Update.
Turn Off GPS
Turning off GPS on your Apple Watch is a great way to extend its battery life by reducing power usage. Unless you want to consult something specific, such as a Google route to find a place or track the course of a running session, deactivating this particular function will not lose much important information, but you will gain autonomy.
