18 Apple Watch Settings You NEED To Change Now

[@zdous8894]

what are the settings to make the optimized charge limit on apple watch ?

[@MundaneGray]

I set Fall Detection to Always On because I’m over 60 and I live alone. I seem be reasonably steady on my feet so far, but you never know what might happen.

[@tinybobaa5792]

Working in healthcare being able to have your watch on for 70 seconds without timing out works great when counting for heart rates or respiratory rates.

[@BlissyAcKc]

Exactly, I didn't know it was an option to go to 70 and hated trying to count a baby's respirations by finding a clock hanging somewhere (different every dang room!). Fixed it to 70 now

[@PayetteForward]

SMART! That's probably where the 70 seconds came from... just over a minute; just long enough for a pulse!

[@ajmilagros]

Use a timer! Do you want to do a full 1 min of resp counting? Set a 1 min timer, then you don’t t have to look at your watch - look at your pt and in 1 min the watch will vibrate the end. A colleague taught me this - it’s a game changer, especially with kids.

[@Mike___Kilo]

@@PayetteForwardHow about an additional 35 second setting? Happy medium.

[@ryanbrewer8898]

Even though I have it set to 70 secs. It keeps going off to fast, how do I make it not go off to fast?

[@mfree0]

70 seconds is useful as a nurse who needs the display on for at least 60 seconds to take vital signs like heart rate per minute, respirations per minute, etc. Very annoying when you look at your wrist trying to get a pulse to take a heart rate and the Apple watch screen turns off. 70 seconds is perfect for medical professionals. Hope that answers your question.

[@andrewmoor7747]

I was thinking the same thing as a first responder. I NEED that second hand for at least 30 seconds for pulse (1-015 seconds) and for respiration (10-15 seconds) counts. and it sometimes takes a few seconds to set up for that check.

[@badsabre5917]

@@andrewmoor7747 they could have at least gave 3 options 15 seconds! 30 seconds and 60 seconds and it would have made more sense even for medical professionals.

[@0629-UA]

Try timer. Set it for 1 min and it will vibrate

[@AngelofOntario]

@@0629-UA- Problem with that is if something happens and medical peeps need to start over with heart rate/res rate.

[@cloud_9429]

@@0629-UA exactly, you can talk to siri and say "set the timer for 1 minute" without touching the screen, then just double tap finger to turm off.

[@leisure057blank3]

Fall detection also for old people like me. I don’t have to buy a fall de ice and pay a monthly fee. And it works, it detected when I slipped in a big puddle of water at Kroger.

[@kennethmullenix867]

Thanks!

[@TJ-bv]

I just bought an Ultra this past friday, I've been searching videos all weekend, im so glad you all released this today.

[@Moonlightdance58]

I had fall detection on and didn’t realize it. Then one day I fell and it asked me if I needed help. Shocked me at first but then I was so grateful and had a sense of security knowing that I could get help so easily. I love this feature. Also I am older and live alone and it reassures my family to know that this is one.

[@girliedog]

I'm 68 and bought my first Apple watch yesterday. Thank you so much for this useful video.

[@jimmytimmy34]

Did I miss the part where they talked about why they turned off optimize battery charging? What are the two settings you would need to turn on to make it work?

I was waiting for it too. I am keeping it on for now, I want to increase the battery life of my watch

No. It’s snake oil BS. Leave optimised charging on, Apple's thousands of top tier engineers know better than random KZbinrs.

[@nowayjose6386]

There are TWO of these videos showing (as of now) 2mo old and 4mo old. They don't have identical content but NEITHER tell us what the two additional switches are relative to Optimize Battery. WTF.

[@kroynenno]

Fall detection is really useful for seniors who are alone, in and out of the house. Not always accurate, nonetheless, it is a great, evolving feature.

[@abnerst.jeanjr.8682]

I've been using my Apple watch for several years so I was skeptical that I was gonna learn anything new, but just in case I watched and did learn some great tips! Thanks you guys know your stuff and present it well! As far as app display, I like honeycomb and my solution is to group the apps that I use most in a center cluster, but not corresponding to the apps I keep in the doc. This gives me quick access to two different set of frequently used apps.

[@lilolmecj]

I like the grid view. Once I recognize them all I can see nearly every choice on one screen.😊

[@JimRosipkoRN]

As a nurse I do find the 70 seconds useful for checking rates for pulse, respiration, and IV drips. I have my first smart watch for a week. Still have more to learn, that's why I am a subscriber to your channel. Thanks

[@SeniorChief1991]

Thoroughly informative. Brief with no extraneous BS. Great. Thanks.

[@PayetteForward]

Just like your comment! You're welcome.

[@Pabloman333]

Except for the whole, "this is very important for your safety but we'll tell you later."

[@MrDromp]

Did i missed something? What's are the other changes in settings you don't like about the optimized charging setting?

[@Airpaycheck]

@eiramtomalin Ooops.

[@WittichWolf]

I like that honeycomb’s design more than the list of apps on Apple Watch, cause I can see all my important apps I will use daily on one screen without scrolling. If the apps order is alphabetical, I always have to scroll. There’s no chance to reorder the apps in the list view to have the important apps together on one screen.

[@gerrykeaveney1657]

what are the additional settings linked to turning off optimised battery>? you said you would mention them....did i miss them?

[@Leggenda88]

Me too

[@keaganogilvie]

Yeah I was waiting for that then it ended. I feel baited

[@FrankBadenCom]

Please answer this!😊

[@TheRealPolly]

You guys are the BEST!!! I was gifted an Apple Watch 9 by my daughter and son-in-law for my birthday tomorrow (it's a BIG birthday...Level 7!) and came to you right away to help me set it up and save battery. Thanks for always being on point!

[@Chriswoodworker]

After doing all these changes, in minutes, how much will your battery be extended per charge?

[@WhaTheF]

Just got an Apple watch a couple of days ago and to be honest, I initially though the title looked a bit like a clickbait ("NEED") but you gave some helpful tips that i wasn't aware of! Thanks!

[@hillvolfan]

For the love of Christmas can they finally allow for deleting of all messages instead of deleting them one by one.

[@1eryear]

70 seconds gives one enough time to find pulse and count for 60 seconds. Or respiratory rate.

[@TechHeadB]

Better yet delete from the watch when you delete them from your phone. Now the AW is definitely better than the galaxy watch but this is one thing it does correctly 😂. Come on apple

[@josettemonachino4162]

Yes! I agree!

[@parryan1800]

But I don’t want to delete all my messages from one person. I like them when I could delete them one of the time I only had to swipe them.

[@bobcoats2708]

I’ve watched two of their Apple Watch settings videos now. They both bait features or explanations that “we’ll explain or get to later in this video” but don’t. I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but it’s irritating. Also, there is some misinformation regarding wrist down settings - turning off all settings under Always On does not result in a ‘cleaner’ wrist down display. It does not remove anything from the display at all. Makes me doubt whether they actually tried this.

[@MyNaday]

I've found this document very helpful: couldn't realise how many featuers drains your battery .Thanks for this guys!

[@HollywoodF1]

If you had a spatial memory, you’d prefer the Grid View. But the List View can also be a trainer to teach you what the icons look like. Then if you carefully organize them, you may find that the Grid View is faster for you.

[@DamianSikora-z1p]

Do I need to enable background refresh for - Settings & find my devices?

[@angievida710]

Hi, used the settings recommended in this video and when the day was over my watch head 15% more battery life then previous day and same time as a check tonight. Thank you.

[@paulbainjr]

Nice to know I go to the shooting range I had no idea I would be calling up drones. Guess I’ll turn that off when I go . Thanks

[@1BSDjunkie]

Better way to maneuver apps: Hold side button and say “open music” or whatever app. Second: To switch back and forth between the last two apps just double click the crown. Back and forth that way! 👍🏻

[@onazram1]

Thank you.

[@LaymanGamin]

Don’t even have to hold button

[@Jeff82556]

THAT was the best tip of all, better than anything in this video. Not only can you switch back & forth, it'll show you an entire list of past apps used, which you can pick from. EXCELLENT TIP 1BSDjunkie!

[@blauro]

Just a quick thank you for this video. Just spent hard earned cash in this watch and appreciate you both. Thank you again.

[@audreyschley8517]

Fall detection is great for epilepsy patients who fall. It gives you 30 seconds bed it sounds an alarm and sends out a message to your contacts you have provided

[@petisco32]

They didn’t say which features to turn on to make optimize charging to work… does anyone know? They say it at 9:34

[@DidierO]

Hello. Thanks for the great video. I don’t understand chapter 15 of the battery settings. You toggle the switch off but don’t explain why. Also which apps to turn I couldn’t find. Can you please explain? Thanks

[@TradIrishHarper]

😂 The bad actors remark was classic but so true

[@ericleszkowicz898]

This is like a secret manual for the watch. Amazing - I thought I knew everything and learned SO much about the watch.

[@iRasmus4]

Nice video, but I would still like to know the settings the optimized charging requires, but which you disliked enough to recommend not using optimized charging at all… I reviewed the video a few times and think that either I’m too dense or you never got around to telling about them 😔

[@tmurf54]

Great tips! I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST AW! My batter ran down overnight.. Is there a place,like the iPhone, to see what is eating up my battery ?

[@timm285]

70 seconds is good for emt and paramedics that need to count the pulse which has to be done for more than 15 seconds.

[@BlackBullets]

What are the two things that should also be turned off if you don’t use the optimized charging from trick 15 ? I was hoping you guys would pick up the topic again in the end of the video 😄

[@Jeff82556]

Apparently they forgot to tell us!

[@MickV08]

What was the 2 other settings related to Optimized Charging?

[@philiprand3720]

I really appreciate your suggestions (and great you from Rome). My 15 Pro Max and Watch 9 have been taught to speak Italian, but I find it easy to follow your suggestions, despite the linguistic difference. My only perplexity with the devices came when doing a yoga exercise, and I came down a bit heavily on the matt. The watch started calling first aid, and I had to fumble about getting it to cease. Perhaps the phone and watch understand that I am 84.

[@skirtonbear1]

I set my app view: in the iPhone, arranged them by how I use them and color, running apps to one side, sound apps to the other, and in the center whatever I rarely use because it’s harder to see them there.

[@insaniquarium92]

I'm in Australia and I realise my settings have different terms compared to yours! Mine says "wake on crown UP" and "'aeroplane mode"

[@talkinghat88]

Thanks. It would help if the menu path can be shown on your screen so the viewer can see the menu before and before that.

[@medimikka_old]

70 seconds, because health care workers like me sometimes have to manually take pulse data (electronic pulse data is always 15-second chunks, in patients with arrhythmia we take a full minute). 70 seconds gives me time to raise my wrist to get the second hand going and start counting.

[@Darkosa1234]

Guess which video I've watched first after getting Apple Watch! Great job guys, keep it up!

[@Bc-wq7rv]

Great post! Very helpful 🤗👏👏👏

[@thirtyeyes]

Grid is great because you can arrange the apps so the ones you use the most are on top. Is that new? It wasn’t mentioned. It would be great if you could use folders for apps and have larger bubbles for the folders.

[@iagrams9100]

Had all but 2 of these already taken care of. I’m 72 and less than graceful, so I have fall detection turned on all the time. I was, however, very confused when I was driving down a straight, flat road and my watch asked if I had fallen!

[@PayetteForward]

That's very interesting! I wonder if you could submit that to Apple somehow.

Mirroring another poster's request: What about the two switches for for Optimize Battery??

[@WittichWolf]

Fall detection always on: Same thing than wearing a helmet during riding a bike: You don’t know, when you will need this protection, but when you use a helmet or switch on Fall detection, you are prepared when you need it. There are so many reasons fall detection is really necessary: Stumbling on stairs, falling during accident with your bike without having started a training before and so on. I’ve had two accidents with my bike, on both accidents I was guiltless. One accident was with my bike, a car rammed me laterally. I flew through the air and bumped hard to the ground. I was really happy wearing my helmet and having that fall detection active. It worked fine. My advice for ALL people: Keep the fall detection turned on, it might save your live.

[@RichardHartness-g6b]

i bit the bullit, 72 years old but had to have one, still love smartwatches. dont like apple but got to admit the ultra 2 is cool . thanks for the tips guys. keep em coming.

[@jeanneaske]

I like grid view. I arrange a few favorites to the top. Very easy and fast to use this way. One app I use is zero. In list mode very annoying to scroll to the last app in the list.

[@eunikemmk8051]

Exactly, I do the same. Having my fav apps on top is almost like having several extra complications on hand.

[@jacka3280]

70 seconds Wake Duration, I find it useful, as a doctor, I often check my patient's pulse manually most of the time in ED and I use the stopwatch, usually check around 30 - 60 seconds and the watch would stay awake and I could see the second hand moving for a good 30 seconds or so without the watch dimming itself and having to move to wake up every 15 seconds.

[@travelngranny]

Have a question for you gentleman. In your video you mentioned the low price of $5.00 a month to get your videos etc. I’m confused because on the bottom of this video it says $6.99. Can you please tell me which is correct. I’m fairly new to this Apple Watch stuff and you guys are the only ones I understand in all the KZbin videos I have watched.

[@UHoldThat]

6:40 they made grid view better on the watch os 10 beta it’s now in a more neat grid where u scroll up and down it made me go with grid view

[@kathleenhodges5184]

Your format for your presentation is wonderful. I’m going to check out more videos.

[@liamslightbulbs709]

at 6:30 I agree it can be to much for grid view but the reason why I like grid view over list view is I can find apps faster because it may be overwhelming but it is faster then having to scroll down more to find apps this is just my personal thoughts

[@SallyYoung-i3b]

If they could add an option to keep your favorite apps at the top, then list view would work better. I use the workout app probably the most, and I don't want to scroll all the way down to it every time especially when I forget to turn it on and want it in a hurry :) In the grid view, it's very noticeable! That's my suggestion for a middle of the road solution :)

Hi, Guys. I love your videos and you always save tons of battery. I'm having a weird issue. After running through this video with you everything draining the battery is off except KZbin.

I think wake on wrist is annoying for wen working, working out or typing. So I have the tap screen wake setting on. And as for giving more than 15 sec is probly good for if you want to monitor you're self wen working out. The view would be better if you can have the list as a back up but the honey comb allow us to add and remove apps and or let us organize.

You recommended turning off “Optimize Charge Limit,” and then you said that there are 2 other settings that we would need to turn on (that you do not like), if we were to choose to keep “Optimize Charge Limit” on, yet you never said which 2 settings you were referring to. Could you please expand?

[@BitSmythe]

TIP: Switch the crown to the left side (better said for “lefties,” pointing to your elbow). This way the crown won’t get pressed accidentally when flexing your wrist. Also you’ll find it easier to scroll with your thumb, without blocking the screen with your finger.
