On my Apple Watch Series 6, it started to happen after the watchOS 10 update.
What could easily take me through two days started to only give me one day of use.
Still, I think it’s worth it.
Only when you raise your wrist will you see the display light up.
Yes, I miss peeking the time on the screen now and then, but it’s mostly okay.
It’s well worth it for the battery gains.
To disable this feature, go toSettings>Display & Brightness>Always Onand then disable theAlways Onfeature.
While you’re here, try some other tweaks.
Apps running in the background, updating constantly, is not a good thing for your battery life.
you might quickly enable or disable cellular connectivity from theSettingsapp.
Go toCellularand then turn off theCellulartoggle.
it’s possible for you to jump back in here quickly to enable it whenever you better.
Swipe left on the notification, tap the three-dotMenubutton and choose theTurn Offoption.
Numerous notifications in one day will surely impact your Apple Watch battery life.
you’re able to customize this from your iPhone.
Here, open theWatchapp and go to theNotificationssection.
Now, go app-by-app and disable notifications that you don’t want to get on your Apple Watch.
By default, Apple Watch installs compatible versions of every iPhone app you download.
But you could remove them from the Smart Stack to save some battery life.
Widgets update in the background with new information even when you aren’t using the Apple Watch actively.
On the watch face, swipe up to see the Smart Stack.
Swipe left on a widget and tap theXbutton to quickly remove it.
Repeat with all the widgets you want to get rid of.
Say Goodbye to Siri
Siri on the Apple Watch is not great, to be honest.
And I’ve tried to make it work, many, many times.
That is reason enough to disable it, and so is the gain in battery life.
Go toSettings>Siriand in theAsk Sirisection, choose theListen Forbutton.
Here, tap theOffbutton to deactivate the feature.
But here, it’s highly restrictive.
I wouldn’t recommend you constantly use it.
Press theSidebutton to open theControl Centerand choose theBatterybutton.
Then, tap theLow Power Modebutton, scroll down the page, and tap the yellowTurn Onbutton.
But both processes do numerous things in the background that can eat up battery life.
Still, asking you to disable all health tracking features is tricky.
Some of them might be legitimately useful to you.
Things like irregular heart rate tracking, or noise level tracking.
To disable Irregular Rhythm tracking, go toSettings>Heart>Irregular Rhythm.
To disable noise tracking, go toSettings>Noise>Environmental Sound Measurements>Measure Sounds.
Lastly, turn to a factory reset
A factory reset doesn’t work for everyone.
It gives you a clean slate to start with, loading up only essential apps.
Go toSettings>General>Resetand then choose theErase All Content and Settingsoption.
