Apple Watch Series 8
I am going away for a month and cannot take my Apple Watch with me, wondering what is proper method to store the Watch until I return? Do I leave it on my charger or let the battery drain?

Please refer to Batteries - Maximizing Performance, which advises:
"Store it half-charged when you store it long term.
If you want to store your device long term, two key factors will affect the overall health of your battery: the environmental temperature and the percentage of charge on the battery when it’s powered down for storage. Therefore, we recommend the following:
Depending on how long you store your device, it may be in a low-battery state when you remove it from long-term storage. After it’s removed from storage, it may require 20 minutes of charging with the original adapter before you can use it."
