Apple Watch series 4 battery life

I have had my series 4 Apple Watch about three years and have charged it overnight since getting it and the battery would easily last the entire day and into the middle of the night. Recently the battery dies after less than 12 hours. Please help me get my watch battery back to a better state.

Hi,

Since it is getting older it is more likely to lose more power!


Firstly check your battery health! If it is below 80 percent than condsider a new Apple Watch!


If not try this:


  • Turn off as many notifications as possible
  • Turn off background app refresh except for the extremely necessary one!
  • Turn off data (if you have it) and WiFi
  • Turn on optimised battery charging
  • Try deleting some apps


Also if none of these helps don’t wear it overnight just charge it and then it will last you the whole day!


As a last option you can see if you can get your battery replaced!


All of these helped my battery life a lot!


The series 4 is only meant to last a day and a half (18 hours)


If this helped please say so and mark this post as helpful!
