El Apple Watch It is undoubtedly one of the star devices of what we have in 2015, which has achieved great sales figures in the market and has also managed to satisfy the majority of users who have purchased one. According to various studies, up to 97% of users who have purchased one of Apple's smartwatches are satisfied with their purchase.
However The broad satisfaction has not led to the autonomy battery problems that have occurred in all devices of this type since not too long ago they hit the market. Like mobile devices, it is necessary to charge them almost in all cases, although it depends on the use, on a daily basis, something not too much to the liking of almost anyone.
In addition, in some cases, the battery life of the Apple Watch does not allow it to "survive" until the end of the day, so today we wanted to create this list of 10 tips with which you can save battery on your Apple Watch and thus extend largely its autonomy.
If you have an Apple smartwatch and the battery does not reach the end of the day or does not last what you expected, review the tips that you will find below because perhaps applying some of them will solve your problems and those of your device.
Limit notifications
Smart watches allow among many other things receive notifications from our mobile device instantly, and even respond to them. Unfortunately this consumes a huge amount of battery, especially if we have many applications configured on our smartwatch so that they are not notified.
WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter or Facebook are just some of the many applications from which you can receive notifications. Every time we receive a notification, the Apple Watch screen lights up and bluetooth is used, which affects the battery.
To save battery and extend the autonomy of our device configure only the essential applications you want to receive notifications from.
Restart the Apple Watch every so often
Restarting a technological device is something that many experts usually recommend to solve many problems that may arise, including that of excessive battery consumption. In the Apple Watch it happens exactly the same and is that the restart of the device can solve several problems.
And is that when you restart or even turn off the smartwatch all running processes are closed and started again. In the event that one of them were working incorrectly and for example wasting more battery than necessary, this would allow us to increase the autonomy.
If you have an Apple Watch, restart it every so often and this may get you out of the way of an uncomfortable problem, related to the battery or something else. Remember that to restart it, you just have to press and hold the digital crown and the side button until the screen goes dark.
Install only the essential applications
It is inevitable to install a huge number of applications on smartphones or smartwatches, which we don't usually use afterwards and that we leave there without taking advantage of them. In some cases, these applications can continue to work in the background, reducing resources and also wasting battery.
Our advice is to only install the essential applications on your Apple Watch to save battery and resources. We know that installing applications and more applications is almost inevitable, but try to control yourself and with them you will be doing your device's battery a favor. This advice can also be used for your iPhone and in general for any device.
Stop applications that you think consume too much
It is not usually very normal for an application to consume too much battery on our Apple Watch, but If you notice that after updating an application it consumes too much battery, a good idea may be to stop it to avoid consuming the battery. You can even consider uninstalling completely and replacing it with another.
Of course, keep in mind that this is not very normal and only in isolated cases does an application consume battery in large doses.
Wear a black WatchFace or at least a dark color
The screen of our Apple Watch is OLED, a type of screen that needs more energy to display light colors than dark ones. Therefore, if you want to extend the autonomy of your device you should put a black watchface or at least dark.
If you don't care about the autonomy of your Apple smart watch, put on the watchface you want and enjoy it even if you don't forget to watch your battery and always keep a place visible to charge your smartwatch.
Mickey is pretty but he eats the drums
Most of the smart watches on the market allow you to place animated backgrounds as the watch face, in the case of Apple Watch it is no different and for example we can place Mickey in motion to tell us the time. These animated backgrounds consume a large amount of battery in most cases so our recommendation if you want to extend the life of your device is to delete them.
To be able to deactivate the movement and animations of your Apple Watch, you will see access from the Apple Watch application on the iPhone to the General option, and then to Accessibility where you must activate the options "Reduce Movement" and "Reduce Transparencies".
Deactivate the option "raise the wrist"
The Apple Watch offers us the possibility that its screen turns on every time we raise our wrist. This means that every time we lift our wrist to look at the watch, its screen turns on before we look for it, something without a doubt very comfortable. The problem is that every time we lift the wrist, to do anything the screen turns on with the consequent waste of the battery.
If you don't want to see how your battery is wasted in a useless way, deactivate the option "raise the wrist". You will quickly notice how the autonomy of your Apple Watch lengthens, although that is if the screen of your watch will not light up just by lifting it.
Make use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode
El Apple Watch "Do Not Disturb" mode As in the iPhone, it allows the device to function in a normal way, although every time we receive a notification the screen will not light up, it will not sound or vibrate with the clear battery saving.
If, for example, your Apple Watch is low on battery power, activating this mode can be a great option to extend the autonomy over time.
Airplane mode, your great ally in critical moments
The airplane mode leaves the Apple Watch almost like a normal clock without the possibility of performing any action that requires the WiFi or the Bluetooh. This means that we can continue to do some things on our smartwatch, although not fully as would happen if we did not activate this mode.
Activate power saving mode
More and more devices incorporate a power saving mode and Apple Watch of course it also offers it to us. This mode allows us, for example, to reach the end of the day if we have a low battery and the smartwatch activating this mode will only be any watch.
As we always say, these are just 10 tips of the many that surely exist to save battery on your Apple Watch. Also, as always, we would like you to tell us what advice we have left or what you use to try to extend the autonomy of your smart watch from the Cupertino-based company.
