Can I leave apple watch on unplugged charging dock

I have the Apple magnetic charging dock and I don't know if I can leave my Apple Watch on it when it's unplugged. It will hold the Watch perfectly to leave it at night, but I don't want to charge it every day.

I don't want to damage the battery.


Thanks!!!

Hi


Yes - you can leave your Apple Watch on the Magnetic Charging Dock regardless of whether or not it is plugged in.


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 charging. Charging will stop automatically when the battery is fully charged and 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.
