Benjamin Levicek Deactivation of animations and beautification effects

Color reduction
One of the things that can drain the battery the most on an Apple Watch is the display. The watchOS operating system can display a lot of things on the apple watch - from various notifications, through websites to monitoring exercises. Everywhere you look in watchOS, you are often accompanied by bright colors. Even to display these colorful colors, it is necessary to use battery power. In this case, the function with the help of which you can switch the Apple Watch display to grayscale can be useful. If you want to activate this function, go to the application Watch on the iPhone to the section my watch and then unclick the box Disclosure. It's enough here activate function Grayscale. You can also activate this function on the Apple Watch, in Settings -> Accessibility, where enable Grayscale.
Deactivation of the watch's lighting after raising the wrist
A watch is primarily designed to tell you the time - and the Apple Watch is no different, of course. Although the Series 5 came with an Always-On display, which can show the time constantly, the display of older watches cannot stay on all the time, as the battery would drain quickly. That's why Apple came up with a great feature where the watch lights up automatically if it recognizes that you've lifted it from the classic position in front of you to look at the clock. However, in some cases there is a miscalculation and the Apple Watch can light up even when it is not needed. If you want to deactivate this function, then in the application Watch on iPhone, go to the section my watch where to unclick the box In general. Get off here below, click on the row Wake up screen a deactivate function Wake up by raising your wrist. You can also disable this feature on Apple Watch v Settings -> General -> Wake screen.

Turn off heart rate monitoring
In addition to all other functions, your Apple Watch can also track and analyze your heart rate. Thanks to this, it can alert you to a too high or too low heart rate, which could indicate a heart defect. Of course, the heart rate sensor also consumes battery power. If you are sure that your heart is fine, or if you use another device to monitor your heart rate, you can disable the heart rate sensor on the Apple Watch. Just go to the app Watch on the iPhone to the section my watch where tap on the option Privacy. Here it is enough that you deactivated function Heart beat. You can also deactivate this function directly on the Apple Watch, just go to Settings -> Privacy -> Health -> Heart rate.
Economy mode during exercise
Apple Watch is primarily intended for users who want to record and analyze their activity and monitor their health in general. All other functions, such as displaying notifications, answering calls and others, are taken as secondary. If you are a persistent athlete and don't do sports for several hours a day, your Apple Watch will most likely only last a really short time. In this case, it may be useful to activate the function that deactivates the heart rate sensors during walking and running during exercise. If you want to activate this function, on the iPhone in the application Watch go to section my watch where to get off below and click the box Exercises. All you have to do here is activate the option Economy mode. You can also activate this feature directly on Apple Watch, just go to Settings -> Exercise.

If you need to save as much as possible on your Apple Watch, i.e. as far as the battery is concerned, you can activate the so-called reserve mode. In this mode, all functions of the apple watch will be disabled, which will only be able to show you a small digital time and nothing more. If you want to activate reserve mode, open on your Apple Watch control center and tap the current one with your finger battery percentage. Here it is enough that you swipe the Reserve slider, making this mode activates.
I'm wondering if I turn off the wrist rotation to save battery, why the watch doesn't show me a notification or who's calling me, but still just vibrates? I have to tap on the display to see who is calling me, which is quite annoying. And even on the AW5 with the alays on display turned on. Is there any way to set the AW to light up the display when a notification arrives, like even cheap smart bracelets do? Thank you.
