Just like the iPhone, Apple allows its smartwatch users to check their device’s battery health and usage. The battery information of an Apple Watch is available in the device’s Settings menu. This feature can come in handy if the Apple Watch’s battery doesn’t seem to last as long as it used to. Users can also access this information to ensure that the battery health stays at maximum capacity for as long as possible.Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to check the battery health and usage of an Apple Watch:
How to check the battery health and usage of Apple Watch:

Opening this section will show the Maximum Capacity percentage that the Apple Watch’s battery can currently reach. This is a percentage of its original capacity. When it reaches 80%, a battery is considered to be consumed and may need replacement. Scrolling further down, users will be able to see the toggle that will help them to activate or deactivate “Optimized Charging” for their Apple Watch.It is also important to note that an Apple Watch doesn’t show which apps use the most battery. However, users can view a breakdown of their Apple Watch’s battery usage by opening the “Settings” app and tapping “Battery”. Here, users can see a chart showing the battery level as it drained and charged over the past 24 hours.
An Apple Watch can also tell users when it was last charged and to what percentage. For example, it might say “Last Charged to 92%” and will show the date when that occurred.
Why this data is important
Battery aging is a common process through which the Apple Watch’s battery ages over time. With time, this process gradually reduces the battery capacity of the device
This is a normal process for any rechargeable battery and happens to all devices, including iPhones. Users can slow the battery’s aging, however, there’s no way to stop it.
If you have an old Apple Watch, its battery might no longer be working at maximum capacity. However, the battery health and usage details on Apple Watch may not be as precise as the iPhone, but by monitoring them users can get a better understanding of how their Apple Watch’s battery is working, even after using it for a few years.
