How to check and preserve your Apple Watch battery health

Like any lithium-ion battery, an Apple Watch battery degrades over time, leading to lower capacity, shorter time between charges, and reduced performance. Users can check their battery status by navigating to Settings, then Battery, and finally Battery Health to view maximum capacity and activate optimized charging. To preserve battery life, users can enable Low Power Mode, turn on Power Saving Mode during workouts, and disable features such as Wake on Wrist Raise. These adjustments reduce background power consumption and help maintain the device's longevity.
