Apple Watch: Extend battery life - the best tips

So that you can use the Apple Watch longer, you can try to extend and optimize the battery life. We give you some tips for this in this article.

Extend the battery life of the Apple Watch

Apple's smartwatch can quickly drain the battery under certain circumstances. With the following tips you can possibly reduce the consumption and increase the runtime.

• Opt for a simple clock face. An illustrated clock face may look chic, but it still uses more battery.
• Manage your notifications and turn off unimportant messages so that you only get the most important things on the smartwatch. This not only saves battery, but also improves the user experience.
• When setting up the Apple Watch for the first time, you should make sure that you only install the most important apps. You should either not download unnecessary apps or - if they are already installed - remove them from the smartwatch.
• Be careful not to set the screen brightness to the highest level.
• In the settings of the smartwatch you will find the option "Reduce movement". Activate it so that the animations on the home screen are deactivated. This also relieves the graphics processor.
• If the battery is almost completely discharged and you want to continue using the Apple Watch, you should activate the "Do not disturb" function or the "Airplane mode".

In addition, you should completely exit apps on the Apple Watch. We will show you how in the next practical tip. You can find our review of the Apple Watch Sport 38mm here.
