A few days ago, Apple released updates to its operating systems intended for the public. More precisely, we have seen the release of iOS and iPadOS 15.6, macOS 12.5 Monterey and watchOS 8.7. So if you want to be 5% secure and have the latest features available, definitely don't delay updating. However, as it happens, there are always a few users who have a problem with endurance or performance. Therefore, together in this article we will look at 8.7 tips to increase the endurance of the Apple Watch in watchOS XNUMX.

Waking up after raising the wrist

You can light up the display of your Apple Watch in different ways. For example, just tap on their display or turn the digital crown. In any case, most users probably use the wake-up after raising the wrist. But the truth is that in some cases the movement may be misjudged and the display will light up at the wrong time. This, of course, results in excessive battery consumption. Waking up after raising the wrist can be disabled on iPhone in the application Watch, where you open the category My watch. Go to here Display and brightness and using the switch turn off Raise your wrist to wake.

Optimized charging

The battery inside all portable devices is a consumable that loses its properties over time and use. For this reason, it is necessary that you take proper care of your battery if you want it to last as long as possible. You should not expose the battery to high temperatures, and it is best to keep the charge level between 20 and 80%. The Optimized charging function can help you with this, which can stop charging at exactly 80% after a proper evaluation. You activate this function on Apple Watch v Settings → Battery → Battery health.

Economy mode during exercise

If you use your Apple Watch primarily to monitor exercise, then you'll be telling the truth when I say that activity drains the battery percentage the fastest. And there is nothing to be surprised about, since all sensors are active and the system processes data from them. In any case, users can choose not to measure heart rate while walking and running, which will significantly increase battery life. This feature can be activated on iPhone in the application Watch, where in the category My watch open the section Exercises, and then activate Power Saving Mode.

Animations and effects

If you (not only) go anywhere in the system within the Apple Watch and think about it, you will realize that you are watching many different animations and effects that make the system look simply good. However, this rendering of animations and effects can be problematic, as it obviously requires some power, which automatically means higher battery consumption. Fortunately, animations and effects can be turned off - just go to on your Apple Watch Settings → Accessibility → Restrict movement, where using a switch activate Limit movement. In addition to the increase in endurance, you can also observe a significant acceleration of the system.

Heart activity monitoring

On one of the previous pages, I mentioned that you can activate a power saving mode for walking and running, when the heart rate will not be recorded. The heart rate sensor is one of the most demanding components of the Apple Watch, so in terms of durability, the less it is used, the longer the battery will last. If you are sure that your heart is fine and you do not need any other heart functions that can alert you to problems, then it is possible to completely turn off heart activity monitoring on the Apple Watch. You can do this on the iPhone in the Watch app, where you go to the category My watch. Then open the section here Privacy and then only disable Heart rate.
