That is why Apple is surely the company that is capable of carrying out the most software updates over a year for all its devices. In some cases, these updates will come to solve different errors that you may have with the version you have installed at that time, and it is possible that some of them may reduce the battery performance of your Apple Watch. Therefore, keeping the clock updated will avoid possible problems of autonomy.
Check the connection with the iPhone
As we said before, it is really difficult to be able to identify the cause of autonomy problems on the Apple Watch. Therefore, what you have to do is discard them. One of the possible causes of this poor performance at the autonomy level may be the connection that the Apple watch itself has with the iPhone.
When this connection is caught or simply does not occur, the clock will be constantly trying to carry it out, and this can lead to a very high consumption of resources and, therefore, also an excessive consumption of battery. In these cases, our recommendation is that you check that the connection between your iPhone and Apple Watch is carried out correctly. To do this you can see if the notifications that enter the iPhone reach the Apple Watch, or simply, by looking the top of the clock faceif a red icon of an iPhone appears, it means that the connection between the two is not in force.
Do you use an original charger?
One of the possible causes that is causing your autonomy problems in the Apple Watch is the using a non-Apple charger or that is not certified by the Cupertino company itself. This is a point that many users overlook due to the usual high price of original chargers. However, it is a practice that will be much more expensive in the long term, since the deterioration of the battery and, in turn, of the device, will be much greater.
Therefore, if you were using a charger that is not certified by Apple, what you have to do is buy an original one or from a manufacturer that has the approval of the Cupertino company to be able to market it with the guarantees offered by the original. Obviously, this will not improve autonomy, but it will prevent wear from following a frenetic pace.
Be careful with the temperature
Another point that you have to take into account is what you expose the Apple watch to, since, as you know, all technological devices they are not friends of high temperatures. If at any specific moment you notice a decrease in the autonomy of your Apple Watch, and it also coincides with the fact that it has been exposed to high temperatures, do not worry, it is normal and usual.
That is why our recommendation is that you try, as far as possible, do not expose the Apple watch to extreme situations. Obviously it is a watch, and its use will always go with you practically everywhere. It is not something you have to worry about if they are specific moments, now, if it is something habitual, you should take it off so that in the long term it does not suffer irreversible damage.
