15 Settings that almost DOUBLED my Apple Watch Battery life!

[@TechBookByDion]

What is your favourite Apple Watch feature?

[@pranaykadam5511]

Hands down my favorite feature is the regular heart rate monitor and the alerts, as my uncle is a heart patient and i can relate how useful that feature could be for him💯💯

Probably the NFC payments🎉

i followed the steps in this video without many expectations. but i have to say that the battery life of my SE 2 literally doubled, it now lasts almost 2 full days, it's actually unbelievable. i missed a couple of steps in the video but i'm now thinking of following them by the book so that i have the longest battery life possible. thanks man, this video really helped me out 🙏🏻

Idk how well this one works, but extra tip: i was looking for the settings to turn off, and found under noise, there is environmental sound measurements, which i think is auto on, and measures the sound levels all throughout the day. unless you regularly go to loud places i cant see this being very useful.

Something I do as this one single button. I hit airplane mode for most of the day. It turns off all notifications, WiFi, cellular and Bluetooth. I don’t use it in the car for car crash detection but when I get to work I’ll be at 98 percent. It is in airplane mode all day still tracking all health features. When I get home at 530 pm 8.5 hours later it is at 75 percent. Easy!

Great shear. Love the to stand notification as I was just about to design a seat timer so I can remember to get up. I can swipe from bottom to top and get a wifi and many more turn on/off option's. Is there a option to make Bluetooth like that ? I want les actions to turn it of and on. Or can I have it on the face would work to.

[@AndrewYouTubehandle]

Helpful and clear video. Most of the time I have a simple screen and swipe across to get to a more complex screen when needed. I only have apps on the watch that I use, and only use the pairing to my phone when i need (by default not). And all sensors except steps off. I get about 2.5 days with my Apple Watch 6.

[@fedeARTPOP]

Can someone explain me why there are other watches (Huaweii) that last +7 days on single charge?

At the 6:00 section I'm curious why you do not turn off crown haptics. Perhaps it does not save that much, but although I would like the feedback, felt I did not need it. So that was one thing I could turn off without feeling any loss.

Hi Dion, Thanks for your great videos. I assume that your other video titled " 18 Apple Watch Settings You NEED To Change Now" that shows a photo of the Ultra, but my question is whether that video covers the ultra 2 that I just purchased in Nov. 2023. Please confirm this. Thanks again.

[@TechBookByDion]

Thanks for your compliments. And congrats on your Ultra 2. The settings are basically the same.

[@abishekthapa3115]

I don’t mind charging frequently as I’ve paid $$ for these features. Why would I turn off these if I paid $$ for?

[@blsharpley]

That’s what I was thinking. Defeats the entire point of getting an Apple Watch if you just turn off every feature.

[@nirooo]

The point isn’t just that, people also do this so they can not run through their battery health percentage as fast. Because when ur battery health percentage becomes low the watch starts becoming slow and soon enough very laggy and with problems. By disabling the features u don’t need or use, u can extend ur battery health much longer.

[@ChristineB9046]

Hello Dion, I just got the Apple watch SE2 and it only would pair to my Iphone 11 if I updated to IOS17. So, I updated my phone to IOS17 but since then, I have noticed that my Iphone battery drains a lot faster, even though the batttery health and charging capacity is still at 100%. I have turned off many features on my watch and phone. Is it normal that the Iphone battery goes down faster when paired to a watch?

[@TechBookByDion]

Hi Christine, there are two parts to it. It connects with your Iphone so it needs bluetooth which requires some battery (the last part of your question). Software updates bring new features and in general require more battery. Normally that is addressed in later updates (IOS 17.1 etc). You can wait it out or reset your phone. At times that does the trick. Sorry for the late reply. Happy Holidays, Dion

[@gregjohnson720]

I have the Ultra 2 and I love it. However, the learining curve from apple devices is never the same. If you start with an older iPhone, the go to a newer one, there is a curve. Then when you go to an iPad, there is newer and bigger curve. Now when you go from the iPad to the Mac, the learning curve doubles (this is the same if you go from a PC to a Mac). Now I hve found that the curve to the Ultra2 watch is harder because there isn't a help screen to walk you through and even in the watch app, it is hard to find all the solutions EIther way, I love my Ultra2 and MacBookAIr M2 chip. Great technology! Love your videos.

[@TechBookByDion]

Enjoy your Ultra2. And thanks for the compliment

[@roel-video]

I notice a lot of people turn off optimized charging because of the 80% charge limit. I hope Apple wil reintroduce original optimized charging as an option

Great video. I want to start wearing mine to bed to get sleep data but I’ll have to have a new dedicated charge time before bed.

[@metube6859]

This is good info... You pointed out a couple of battery savers that I had never thought about (particularly the complications data). However, it seems to me that you missed out the most important one: WiFi. So long as your iPhone is withing bluetooth range, WiFi is really useless. On one my old watches with an waning battery, the one simple change of turning off WiFi double my battery life. Instead of having it shut down for lack of battery in late afternoon, it was able to still have 40% left at bedtime. BUT... if you like to use your watch to unlock your Mac, then this feature won't work if you turn off WiFi.

[@swallman]

I just got my series 9 watch today and charged it to 100% and within 3 hours it was at 10% which is why I found this video. I feel like I need to return this watch as defective given advertised time is 18 hours. Is my experience normal? If it is normal I will simply return for a refund as charging after 3 hours is unacceptable or do I simply have a bad unit?

[@TechBookByDion]

battery life depends on many factors, but going from 100 to 10% is in most cases not normal. Did it change after applying my tips?

definetely a bad unit, so get a new one

I just subscribed to your KZbin Channel and was looking for a video on the different Apple Chargers and Cables and couldn't find one. As a matter of fact, not very much useful information available that is understandable for us non tech savoy senior citizens. You might want to offer information on these issues, i.e. is it ok to charge an Apple Watch with a MacBook 87 Watt Charger? A video explaining what the different chargers do and what you can and cannot use them with would be very helpful for an old geezer like myself. Also, indicating the differences between the cables i.e. USB, USB Type-A, Type-B, Mini, etc. It's very confusing to say the least. Also which cables work properly, i.e. Apple Brand or Ankler or some other off brand. Thank you in advance for considering my request. I wasn't sure what would be the best way to contact you. Happy Holidays!

[@TechBookByDion]

Dear Julian, first of all thanks for subscribing. Highly appreciated. The cable and charger thing is rather important and perhaps a video on my other channel might help you in this respect studio.kzbin.infos9LWamZoW0s/edit (iPhone 14 Pro Battery Health 1 Year Later (+Best Ways to Charge).

[@PhilippReinecke]

Great video, got some insights from it. Your comments regarding the heart measurements are a bit misleading in my opinion. Yes, the watch will continue to measure your heart rate but even without known disease it makes sense to leave the notifications on for irregular rhythm to detect such condition once it arises. 9:57
