Thank you!

[@SoshiKyo]

Great video thanks! But I was wondering for how long do I need to charge my watch? Do i need to stop it once it reaches 100% (currently for 3 hours) or I can Ieave it overnight which means around 7-8 hours?

[@LaymanGamin]

It charges to full n 15 min

[@TakedaClanBelgrade]

Leave only apps you actually use, problem solved, & use background app refresh only for the apps that are part of your ecosystem, such as ebike app etc…

[@miketech79]

Only thing I want is shortcuts automation for enabling and disabling low power mode on Apple Watch. I’d like to have low power mode on during normal usage and low power mode off during workouts. Unfortunately there is no way to automatically do this.

[@macvince]

You're right, there's currently no shortcuts action for this - can't come up with a reason why. Hopefully, this will be added with watchOS 10 next month!

[@johnchernabcinterviewandca3153]

lol yea, i get 3.5 days w, low power mode

[@JJMRA]

Well i had the 7 and can last me a month just for the clock

[@MemorablePopCulture]

I take my Ultra off the charger in the morning. Go for a 30 minute walk. Come home and from 100%, it’s already dropped to 78%. Going for my walk my iPhone is in my pocket and it’s always Bluetooth connected. It’s consistently happening. How can this happen? Even if removing all the background refresh, it should not drop so much in 30 minutes

[@JamesDory]

Yeah, You paid $800 bucks and then thinking about turning off mostly everything 😅. Should buy Redmi Watch 4.

[@E.Carrillo]

Why get the watch if you’re going to turn off all the features? Kind of ridiculous IMO.

[@macvince]

Just a selection you could turn off if you want to extend battery life. Some people might not need all of them. Choose those, turn them off and you can get longer battery life.

[@MGEE8572]

Have no colour and save more Battery .... Accessibility, Colour filter and select Greyscale

[@macvince]

For battery life, grayscale doesn't really make any difference as the pixels still have to "light up" in order to produce that color be it red, blue or in your case gray. However, dark mode on OLED phones saves battery as black pixels on the OLED displays don't light up. That's why the Apple Watch uses so many black backgrounds and there's not really a "light" mode.

[@NarayanKrishnaSingh]

Your speech is so fast. You talk so fast.

[@maziatr]

I have a better idea - stop using your AppleWatch altogether - it will save you 100% battery life - BTW, very good video

[@macvince]

Might include that one in one of my next videos - thanks for watching! :D

[@TwoBrothersAuto]

I don’t even use mines. My battery goes from 100% at 9am to 12% and 3pm

[@jamesWplayss]
