Is there a problem if I charge my Apple Watch when it's 63%? Does this affect my battery?
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.1
Hi
The watch uses lithium-ion batteries, which can be charged whenever you want.
The battery will not suffer any harm from regular charging, regardless of the charge level when charging begins.
There is no need to let the battery discharge fully before recharging it, nor any benefit to be gained from doing so.
More information:
You may find it most convenient to charge your watch nightly, overnight.
The watch cannot be overcharged and the battery will not suffer any harm from regular overnight charging. Charging will stop automatically when the battery is fully charged and will start again if and 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.

To be precise the Apple Watch uses a lithium polymer battery.

To be precise, Apple Watch uses a "lithium-ion polymer battery".

However, Apple considers "lithium-ion" to be sufficient when describing the battery type:
Yes, you left out the polymer however, the Li-ion is assumed and plain ones still exist. Your welcome.
