First, Understand Your Apple Watch’s Battery Capacity
Just like any other device with a rechargeable battery, your Apple Watch’s battery capacity will decrease over time. Of course, the better you take care of it, the longer it will last. But eventually, your Apple Watch’s battery won’t last as long as it used to.
Here’s how to check your Apple Watch’s current battery capacity:
- Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch.
- Go to Settings.
- Scroll down and tap on Battery.
- Scroll down again and select Battery Health.
- Scroll down one last time, and under Maximum Capacity, you’ll see the real capacity of your Apple Watch.
This means how much charge your Apple Watch can handle. The lower the capacity, the less charge it’ll hold. Generally speaking, anything above 80% is okay, but if your percentage is low, you might want to consider upgrading to a newer Apple Watch — or at least getting the battery replaced at an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
