What happens if the Watch runs out of battery?

wenc 4y ago
That never happens and I wear my Apple Watch all day and all night (for sleep tracking) except for when I shower -- I plop it on my charger once a day when I shower and it charges to full during my shower (it doesn't take that long for the Watch to charge to full) iOS devices also have Power Reserve, which lets you use wallet and express transit for up to 5 hours even after your battery is out of juice. https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/01/13/apple-power-reserve-guide/ https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/01/13/apple-power-reserve...

  Never runs out of charge… needs recharging daily? How do these 2 not conflict?

    Just that there's a routine in place which ensures it always gets the required charge without it needing to be especially planned for.

      I'm sure it works great when you're travelling /s

        Traveled to Japan recently (time zone change, long transpacific flight). No problem. I charged the Watch when I got to the hotel and it still had quite a bit of charge left. Then I just charged it whenever I showered and that worked for me. The Watch isn’t like a phone. It doesn’t have a lot of background apps running and the battery life between charge intervals is more than enough.

    Simple. To "run out" means to drop to a 0% battery level. That has never happened to my Watch since I've unboxed it.

      Good for you, but with a battery life measured in hours, not days, unless you've got a life that's on such a routine that you charge it every day, it's going to run out of battery. I have a Series 4 watch and that thing spends most of its time at 0% battery level. It's not so useful when I'm just sitting at home, so I don't bother to charge it unless I'm planning on going out.

        Most Apple Watch owners charge their watch while they’re asleep at night.

        Battery life is actually 1.5 days for Series 7, and whatever routine one has with smartphone charging, one can implement the same with Watch. I tend to shower daily but I know a lot of Northern Europeans have different ideas about that so charging at bed time works too.

Take out your phone? What happens if your phone runs out of battery? Take out your tablet.
