Hi


Apple advises that you can charge Apple Watch whenever you want. The battery on Apple watch cannot be overcharged and there is no need to let the battery discharge to any particular level first, nor any benefit to be gained from doing so:

Apple's tips for maximising battery life and battery lifespan on Apple Watch are detailed here:

You may find it most convenient to charge your watch nightly, overnight. 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.Be sure to follow Apple's safety and handling instructions (see the links below) 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.

You may also find (the optional) Nightstand Mode useful:
