When do you charge your Apple Watch? [MERGED]

[GuillaumeB]

hello,

As i plan to get a Watch 10, I'd like to monitor my sleep and that sleep apnea detection rumor seems very interesting to me.

But then i'd wear my watch days and nights So i'm just curious, when do you find it the most practical time of the day to charge it ?

Thank you

At night--which means I don't use it for anything related to sleep data. I only use it during the day.

It’s not hard. Set aside 20 minutes before bed to charge the watch. Make yourself a daily reminder.

Put it on charge while you’re showering. That’s usually enough until the next day. I also use it for sleep monitoring.

I put it in on the charger after dinner in the evening. By the time I shower and am ready for bed it is fully charged and ready to go.

I charge the one I wore when I switch to the other one (Ultra 1 and Ultra 2). That is usually in the morning after around 24 hours

With Ultra 2, I charge it every 2 days while driving from home to work or viceversa. 1 hours drive is usually enough to charge it from 50% to 100%.

I charge over night and never wear it in bed and plan get new Apple Watch 10. I think after getting Apple Watch 10 I will put on charge while I get ready for bed like showering etc. Then in morning put on charge while I getting dressed/showered etc. Hopefully it be enough. Will see.....

Get a 2nd watch
But seriously, plenty suggestions already.
While showering, during dinner time etc…

I charge mine in the evening, after dinner and before I go to bed.

I charge it in the evening during the last hour or so before going to bed. Then I also put it on the charger in the morning while I'm having breakfast etc - the latter is probably not needed but it's more for peace of mind I suppose.

I charge overnight. I don't like sleeping with a watch on

 

[GuillaumeB]

Thanks for all your replies, I think I got a pattern here !

 

[Howard2k]

Showering, doing the dishes, taking a conference call at my desk. It's never been an issue for me to keep it charged.
I sleep with Ultra on.

With Ultra 2, I charge it every 2 days while driving from home to work or viceversa. 1 hours drive is usually enough to charge it from 50% to 100%.

Do you know if Crash Detection works while charging? I hope so but can’t find anything on Apple’s page on it or in the Settings.

Using a Series 8 and would like to charge it in the morning before work for an hour or so.

But something is wrong with the watch.
I use my Apple 20 w charger and the braided cable and it takes over 2 hours to charge from 15-100%.
It’s the same speed as my 5w charger.
Optimized battery charge is off.

So now I have to charge all night.

No idea mate, I’m sorry!

I do that as well, and I charge my Apple Watch in the mornings sometimes if it drained battery a lot for sleep tracking as well.

 

[StaceyMJ86]

I have an Ultra 1 and don’t really need to charge but once every other day, but for peace of mind, I charge in the morning before work, and an hour before bed. I sleep with my Ultra to track my sleep, HR, HRV, and blood oxygen levels along with my cpap machine.

 

[The Cockney Rebel]

In the morning, when I wake up.

I have a Belkin three in one fast charger, and my watch charges incredibly fast.

 

[martin2345uk]

As above really, seems to me the watch is great for tracking stuff during the day but also while you sleep, in which case how do folks manage the battery..?

 

[TKSX]

Charge when you take a shower or when you are sitting idle at your desk for ~ 40 - 60 min.

 

[GucciGriffinIII]

Charge when taking a shower or doing misc work/gaming at home.

 

[martin2345uk]

I take it they charge that quickly then..! I don’t do desk work but yeah I could charge while showering and getting ready though that’s only like 30 mins really ☹️

Charge when you take a shower or when you are sitting idle at your desk for ~ 40 - 60 min.

This - the newer cables, with either the silver puck, or the braided cable, charge the newer models really fast.
