how to store apple watch?

i’m going to be in a cabin in the mountains with no wifi for 2+ weeks and don’t plan on taking my apple watch with me. what would be best: 1) leave it on the charger the whole time, or 2) leave it off the charger and allow it to discharge completely?

iPhone SE, iOS 11

Hi


I suggest following Apple's guidelines that apply when storing Apple Watch long term.


In order to preserve battery operation and maximise battery lifespan, Apple advises that you should store your watch with a 50% charge and then turn it off.


See the instructions under the heading "Store it half-charged when you store it long term":
