Apple Watch: what's the power reserve? Easily explained

If you find the power reserve on the Apple Watch, it is not really clear what it is. We clarify it.

Use the power reserve on the Apple Watch

• If you hold down the side button on the Apple Watch for a few seconds, the "Power reserve" option appears. If you activate the option, the Apple Watch is put into a power-saving mode.
• The connection to the iPhone is disconnected, the Apple Watch shuts down almost completely and the display switches off. If you press the side button again, the current time is displayed for only 6 seconds.
• If there is a lightning symbol next to the time, the Apple Watch has automatically activated the power reserve because the battery is almost empty. If you hold down the side button for several seconds, the power reserve ends and the Apple Watch restarts.
