Apple Watch can be the perfect accessory for any iPhone user. It can do a lot of things - from displaying notifications and other information, to tracking sports activities, to measuring not only heart rate. But because it can do so much, it goes hand in hand with one major ailment, which is poor battery life. Therefore, you will certainly appreciate these 5 tips for extending their durability. Apple claims up to 6 hours of battery life for the Apple Watch Series 18 and Apple Watch SE. But according to his words, he arrived at this number from tests performed with pre-production models with pre-production software, and he also does not tell us what the watch tracked during those 18 hours. Just imagine that you are going on a day hike in the mountains. Do you think the Apple Watch will keep up with you for 12 hours while measuring your every heartbeat? Hot hard.

However, there are several options to extend the life of the Apple Watch at least a little. In most cases, of course, this is at the expense of their functionality. On the other hand, you may wish for some "uselessness" with a view to at least completing the activity. So, let's take a look at 5 tips and tricks together, thanks to which you can increase the battery life of your Apple Watch.

updates

Also, before you go anywhere, check to see if a newer version of watchOS is available. Apple strongly recommends that you always use the latest version of the software, also because it may fix known endurance bugs. You can check the availability of the update in the Watch app on the paired iPhone. You just need to go to the panel in it My watch and choose In general and subsequently Software update. 

Economy mode

If you measure your regular activity, you can turn on Energy Saving Mode. This turns off the heart rate sensor, which consumes the largest percentage of battery. If it's just a small activity, you don't need to know all the complex statistics about it right away. You turn on the power saving mode in the application Watch on iPhone, where in the panel My watch click on Exercise, in which the mode activation is located. It should be taken into account that after its activation, the calculations of burned calories may not be so accurate. 

Chest strap

If you are an avid athlete, you should consider purchasing a Bluetooth chest strap. The latter may be more suitable for more accurate and comprehensive measurement of your activity. By then taking over certain functions of the watch, so of course you can turn it off on it and thus save its battery. But you can still check all the statistics on them, because you simply pair the belt with them.

Reserve mode can also help. But you can see nothing but the current time in it

Turning on the display

If you are temperamental and move your hands a lot, you not only talk to others but also gesture appropriately, etc., the watch display turns on more often than is appropriate. However, you can turn off the watch's wake-up call when you raise your wrist, which you can appreciate not only during a meeting, but also on a mountain hike. Just open it on your Apple Watch Settings, go to In general, tap on Wake up screen and turn off the option here Raise the wrist to wake the screen. You can then check the information on the watch by turning on the display by touching it, or by pressing the crown. 

Bluetooth

Always keep Bluetooth turned on on your iPhone. If you turn it off, the Apple Watch will drain faster due to searching for a connection with the iPhone. So do not turn it off in the interests of more economical communication.
