Apple watch over charging

Hello,

How bad is it if I charge my apple watch whole night and it was 80% when I started charging it, for example? Or it can stop it by itself?

Yes - the same applies to your iPhone 8 Plus, subject to following Apple's instructions and safety & handling guidelines, including:

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 Apple 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. The battery will then be fully charged ready for the start of each day.

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 / Bedside Mode useful:

Thank you for your recent help.

I have just purchased my iPhone 8+ 256GB and Apple Watch Series 3, and I must say they are amazing!

The only problem I am expiriencing happens when I get a notification to my Apple Watch, and I want to respond it by dictating with my voice. Sometimes I can speak in my own language but sometimes it becomes English mode, and I cant control it like changing keyboards in the iPhone..

Any idea what to do?...
