5 ways to extend the life of your Apple Watch battery

There is nothing more frustrating than seeing a low battery alert for any device after charging it just a few hours ago. Sometimes the battery life is much shorter, especially if you regularly receive notifications and alerts, follow long workouts or use apps frequently on the watch.

Fortunately, you can improve the life of your Apple Watch battery in different ways.

Here are 5 ways to extend the battery life of your Apple Watch.

1- Use a dark interface:

Since black pixels require less power than color pixels on OLED displays, it is logical that enabling dark mode helps preserve the battery life of the Apple Watch. To do this, follow these steps:

• Access the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
• Click the Face Gallery tab, select the desired interface by clicking the Add option.
• Tap the (My Watch) tab in the menu at the bottom of the screen, and then choose the interface you want.

2 – Adjust the brightness of the screen:

Just as the brightness of the screen affects the battery life of your phone, so does Apple Watch. You can therefore reduce the brightness of the screen by following these steps:

• Go to Settings on your Apple Watch.
• Touch Brightness and Text Size.
• Press the lighting controls to adjust them, press the slider or rotate the digital crown.

3. Reduce the notifications you receive on the watch:

The permanent lighting of the screen due to frequent incoming notifications can deplete the life of your battery. You can reduce it by reducing the number of notifications you receive on the watch by doing the following:

• Access the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
• Click the (My Monitoring) tab.
• Press the (Notifications) option to be able to individually reduce or disable the notifications for each application by clicking on them one by one.

4 – Disable the screen lighting when you lift the wrist:

The Wake Up Screen feature illuminates the screen each time you lift your wrist, which shows you the time and other notifications that may have occurred. This feature may be useful, but it drains the battery too quickly and to disable it, follow these steps:

• Access the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
• Touch the tab (My watch), then tap (General).
• Tap the Wake Screen option, then disable the Wake Screen on Wrist Raise option by pressing the scroll button next to it.

5. Power Reserve Mode:

This is the most effective option to save your watch's battery because activating the Power Reserve mode will disable all alerts and notifications on the device and will disable any non-essential functionality.

To activate this mode, swipe the home screen of your watch up, press the power percentage button and, under the remaining battery percentage, move the Energy Reserve button to the right to activate it.
