Apple watches are the most popular on the market. It serves not only as a sports tracker, but also for calls, communication via messages or navigation. However, the Apple Watch certainly cannot boast of great durability, and they do not include any power saving mode like the iPhone or iPad. That's why today we're going to look at how you could improve the life of your watch.

Turn off notifications for individual apps

Apple Watch is especially great because you have an overview of all notifications, on the other hand, some of them can distract you unnecessarily, and with a large number, battery life can be shorter. To turn off notifications for individual apps, open the app on the iPhone paired with the watch Watch and tap on Notification. Here, just click on a certain one below in the list application, for which a notification is then sufficient deactivate.

Turn on cinema mode

If you raise the Apple Watch to your face, it automatically lights up and you no longer have to touch the screen or press the digital crown. But the truth is that sometimes the watch does not detect movement well and the display lights up - for example when sleeping. This can adversely affect battery life. Fortunately, we have a cinema mode that is easy to activate. On Apple Watch view the control center. If you're on the home screen, that's enough swipe up from the bottom of the screen, in case you have the application open, hold down your finger a classic swipe up. Then go down below and activate the theatrical masks icon, which turns on cinema mode. From now on, you will have to turn on the display either by touch or with the digital crown.

Deactivating the heart rate monitor

The heart rate monitor is definitely great. Thanks to it, you can get a slightly better overview of your health. However, some users do not primarily use the Apple Watch to monitor their health – if you only use the watch as a communicator and don't do a lot of sports, you can disable the heart rate measurement. Deactivating the heart rate measurement will certainly not bother you so much in this case. Move to the app Watch, open Privacy a turn off switch Heart beat.

Turning off heart rate measurement during exercise

Smart watches are, of course, primarily used to measure sports activities, which is helped by the aforementioned heart rate monitor. However, if the approximate values ​​of burned calories are enough for you, or if you have an external heart monitor connected to the watch via Bluetooth, it is unnecessary to have the built-in monitor in the Apple Watch turned on - in addition, disabling it significantly saves battery. Open on iPhone Watch, click here Exercise a turn on switch Economy mode. In addition to the heart rate, the watch will also turn off the cellular connection if you are in a country where this feature is supported.

Disable noise measurement

Since the arrival of watchOS 6, the watch has learned to measure the noise level in the surroundings and send you a notification in case of a noisy environment. Honestly, I don't think that such a function will be usable for everyone - not everyone works, for example, in a "factory", where the noise is usually the highest. Such people can disable noise measurement to get better battery life. On your iPhone, navigate to the app Watch, go down to the section Privacy a deactivate switch Ambient sound measurement. From now on, automatic measurement will not take place.
