And while the Low Power Mode in watchOS 9 and later has resolved the issue, users with watchOS 8 and earlier will have to rely on Power Reserve. However, there’s a catch. Let’s discuss everything below.
What does Power Reserve mode on Apple Watch do?
While it stays true to its name and reserve power, aka Apple Watch battery, it barely does anything else. In Power Reserve mode, you can also see the time you press the side button. Your Apple Watch won’t communicate with your iPhone, nor will the features like an always-on display and lift to wake up work.
How to enable Power Reserve mode on Apple Watch
Usually, Apple Watch enters Power Reserve mode automatically if the battery drops below 10 percent. How to turn off Power Reserve mode: Let’s accept that using Apple Watch only for looking at the time, without any watch face, is boring. So, to turn off the power reserve mode on the Apple Watch, simply press and hold the side button until your watch restarts. That’s it! The battery life is one of the biggest flaws of the Apple Watch.
