    Hi

     

    Under normal operation, Apple Watch cannot be overcharged and the battery will not suffer any harm from regular overnight charging.

     

    Charging will stop automatically when the watch is fully charged (and recommence as / when required due to ongoing battery usage). Follow Apple's safety and handling instructions and also note that:

     

    - It is not possible to turn the watch off whilst it is on the charger and connected to power - this is normal.

    - It is also normal for your watch, power adapter and charging cable to become warm when connected to power.

    You may also wish to use Nightstand mode, which enables you to use your watch as a beside clock with optional alarm:

     

    • Check that the option is enabled: on your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to My Watch (tab) > General > scroll down to Nightstand Mode.
    • Connect your watch to its charger (with power connected) or connect it to an Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock:
      • Place your watch on its side with the buttons facing up.
    • To see the time, tap the display or lightly nudge your watch:
      • By design, when your watch is in this mode, even nudging your bedside table may be sufficient.
    • If you also set an alarm using the Alarm Clock app on your watch, it will alert you at the specified time.
