Bought new apple watch 8 today and this helps me so much to set up correct setting that I look all over the internet. Simply you are amazing.

[@amberlee4005]

Definitely found this useful especially when being new to an Apple Watch! Because I pretty much had a lot of these things running on my watch, and when coming from my Fitbit which I still love lol… the battery life was definitely better than my Apple but with that being said it also didn’t do as much stuff which I absolutely love about my Apple watch❤ so I hope I will definitely see a little or even a lot longer battery life! And thanks for not going to fast! 😊

[@thomasayau9911]

I loved my Fitbit and my Garmin watches. Their functionality was better than Apple. But I have swallowed the Apple Kool-Aid.

[@Shezadiva4]

This was a great video! Just got my first Apple Watch last week and needed to see this before returning because charging every other day was getting annoying. Appreciate you laying these tips out for us!

I’ve listened to your battery saving tips and carried out most of them. I’ll see how I feel about them over the next few days. I won’t be able to remember how to switch them back on of course 😂. But thank you. What would we do without all you wonderful people on KZbin 😊

[@farside51]

Some very helpful hints. I have the SE for over a year now and I get 30+ hours before a charge. I made some of the changes you suggested but I’m not compromising the fun features of owning the watch. I did switch it to retro gray scale so it’ll be interesting to see how much more battery life I get. Thank you for doing this video.

[@farside51]

Well after changing some of the settings to help increase the battery I’ve really noticed no difference so I’m going back to color instead of gray scale. I did change my watch face to one that has a black background which I like.

[@mucchad]

How’s it been for you so far ? How much hours are you going between charge ?

[@farside51]

@@mucchad I didn’t see any noticeable increase in battery life in the retro gray mode so I switched it back but set the brightness down. Getting about 34-36 hrs by the time it’s down to 14% with the new watch face that has a black background.

Hey bro ! Amazing video !! I thought I did most of these things when buying the Apple Watch Series 7. I like how you explained what the settings do rather than just say it’s useless ( in your opinion ). When searching on KZbin to save battery I now know why yours came up first! Keep up the good work bro

[@Slakass55]

Thanks for the tips, these are especially useful on the LTE/cellular model, which is so much harder on battery. Something wife just found out after getting a cel model to replace her gps model. Another quick tip: choose a face with the least amount of colours and opt for a black background (unless you can live with grayscale, something I can't - try locating an app among the 50 or so in that cluster and you'll see what I mean).

[@Phoenix487559]

Change the app to list instead of that crazy bubble option that’s hard to see anything

[@Slakass55]

@@Phoenix487559 I agree, that's how I have mine set. Looking at a blob of tiny icons doesn't work for me. However my son's series 2 has no list view option for the apps. He doesn't mind it. I couldn't live with it.

You should have shared your experience as well. How often you get notification (avg/day), How long does your watch last when you apply these changes?

[@MrMericaV]

I’m a traditional guy and I was opposed to getting an Apple Watch but it has a lot of features and my wife got it for Father’s Day for me. well, then I have it now, even though I avoided it, because usually when I have a watch, it becomes a part of me. I didn’t wanna have to worry about recharging it over and over again I just wanna slap it on and have it there. Thanks for your video. It was really informative and now I feel like I can be more practical with this watch than just having a second iPhone attach my wrist.

[@superdutyzack]

I really wish Apple made a fitness tracker. I don’t want or need a smart watch, but they have the best tracking and sensors of any fitness tracker besides a whoop. Imagine a Apple Tracker that had crazy good battery life, same if not better sensors, and a very minimal screen design for better battery performance and quick data visualization. Basically, i want a fitbit charge but made by Apple.

[@forgetmyname5166]

That’s what I think, can anyone feedback to Apple, I think is a win win situation for Apple and user

[@urshurakdieohnekanal9291]

I implemented all the changes except the gray scale on my SE (that one meets my needs perfectly), and after 36 hours it's at 26%.

[@bamboelaa]

Isn’t white the least power efficient for an oled? I started using a red watch face like the Apple Watch ultra does and it seems like my battery lasts longer

[@whydoidothis01]

These are some good tips mate. Using these and some of the tips you have on another YT video, I get about 2.5 days of battery life. I recharge when my AW gets to about 15-20%. This is my 2nd one, and I def see a difference.
