I bought my new iWatch today and I normally shut down my phone at night,
How do I shut down the watch?
When I go to the screen that shows power reserve, and passcode, the only thing that allows inout is lock this phone?
MacBook Pro, iOS 8.1.2
Press and hold the side button (not the crown). Power off is one of the three options shown.
It is not necessary to shut down the Watch.
Hi
You may find it convenient to charge your watch overnight rather than turn it off.
Under normal operation, the watch cannot be overcharged and the battery won't suffer any harm. 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.
Check battery power and charge your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Keep Apple Watch within acceptable operating temperatures - Apple Support
The upcoming software update for Apple Watch (due soon - this autumn / fall) is designed to complement overnight charging by adding an automatic feature called Nightstand Mode:
"Now you can use your watch even when you’re done wearing it for the day. Just place it on its side and connect the charger. Apple Watch will automatically go into Nightstand mode, a digital display that illuminates whenever you touch the screen, the Digital Crown, or the side button. Nightstand mode even changes how the watch buttons function. When an alarm sounds, you press the side button to turn it off, or the Digital Crown to snooze."
