This is the video that I always needed thank you! Although I don’t agree with you on the low power mode I don’t think it completely cripples the watch it just turns off the sensors which is something you don’t always want or need but everything else still functions normally like getting notifications and calling siri opening apps setting timers …etc
@Alex-hv3ir Жыл бұрын
I think that for example it would be pretty useful to set up a focus mode which automatically activates low power mode when you're home (most likely sit or lying) so that u save battery for when u need it the most. Edit: typo

Thanks for testing this. I think the Bluetooth off suggestion is also one of those "your mileage may vary" things. The Apple Watch does most of its data communication with the internet via its bluetooth connection to an iPhone, then the iPhone uses its wi-fi connection to actually send/receive data. BT uses less power than wi-fi on the Apple Watch, but is slower. If you use an Apple Watch for any type of home automation like controlling Hue lights, you really notice the lag as the command from your Apple Watch goes to your iPhone via BT, then from your iPhone via wi-fi to the Hue Hub that controls the lights. My guess is if you have a Apple Watch that has to sync a lot of data with its host iPhone (music, photos, workout data, etc.), turning BT off cancels those syncs saving power until BT is re-enabled or the Apple Watch is in its power cradle where it will use wi-fi to sync.

Really good analysis. Personally I don’t buy either iPhone or Watch to turn off features and prefer to enjoy the experience as it’s designed. When flying low power mode makes sense and saves a ton of battery but I wouldn’t use it day to day. Thanks for the effort it testing all scenarios 👍🏼 would love to see you prove or disprove “saving” battery on iPhone too. Hi to Monty 🐶

The wrist raise was the first thing I turned off with my series 3 when I got it, and I've kept it that way with my Series 4 and my Ultra. The battery life is pretty good with the Always On Display, though I know turning that off could improve my battery life a good bit. Having the Sleep Focus enabled might also help because it turns the display off while you sleep, so that saves power for sleep tracking.

I keep wrist raise off on the Ultra, but also have the (optional) regular HRV readings (from AFib History) active so the gains are very modest. But prior to turning AFib History on, I was getting just about 65-72 hours with wrist raise off. That felt good.

The comparison with the Apple Watch Bluetooth and WiFi set to off would be useful rather than the phone setting (it'll still be searching for headphones etc... I mainly want extra battery for endurance events without a phone and not needing any WiFi etc. (AW S7). Bluetooth/WiFi/AOD - Off, Wrist-Raise/Low Power Mode-On seems like the best compromise. Hoping it'll last 6.5 hours with 82% battery health like this...

Turned the notifications OFF and theater mode ON (plus had Do Not Disturb ON) and my watch battery lasted so much longer that day. I just plain forgot to undo those after worship. Watch 6. Had a great uninterrupted day and extra power when I went for an unplanned run.

I'm here because I was curious how turning off the Watch's Cellular and/or Wifi would impact battery life. (Leaving the iPhone-&-Watch connected via Bluetooth, but experimenting with wifi off vs cellular off, vs both Off, vs all on.) I'm sure the WatchOS is intelligently balancing which network it uses, but I still have to think that turning off the watch's wifi and cellular antennas when connected to the iphone in normal day to day use has to save more battery ....? Bigger picture: Should wifi & cell be turned off most of the time, except for when you don't have your iphone with you? (I have a series 7 with cellular on 9.6.1, and an iphone 11 pro)

At some point you realize that turning off every single setting that makes the Apple Watch useful negates its existence. If you're not going to use any of the features for fear of consuming battery life, then just buy an analog watch and be done with it. People stress way too much about this stuff imo. Turn on optimize battery charging and switch to low power mode when necessary.

Check how much radiation comes from the phone and watch with Bluetooth on with the EMF reader. It's 3x more than standing 6 inches from a microwave that is in use. YIKES. Hence why I do not use an Apple Watch, and keep bluetooth OFF on my iPhone nearly always except to sync certain devices once every few days.*

Hello. I've got an S10+ and was thinking how to protect it. Mous seems to be the best case though I'm not sure how well the edges are covered... It seems as if they only tested the case with iphones! I've therefore looked at the screen protectors but what a chaos!! For impacts tempered glass seems to be the way to go, however it is... **Difficult to install and leaves adhesive from the liquid that is hard to remove. **Fingerprint sensor becomes useless (even with whitestone dome) So, does it make sense to replace the stock film with one of these tempered protectors? And if so which one should I pick? It should be cheap and tick the above boxes. Thanks!
