Understanding Low Power Mode
Low Power Mode is an essential feature for maximizing your Apple Watch's battery life. When enabled, it intelligently reduces power consumption by limiting features like the Always On display, background app refresh, and certain health sensors. This ensures your watch can last longer, which is particularly useful when you're away from a charger or have limited battery remaining.
