My issue is that I wear it overnight and through the day. And what happens is that around an hour before bedtime, the battery gets to 20-30% but since I'm not constantly checking, I forget about that and don't take it off my wrist to charge it.

The only low battery notification I get is at like 10%. It'd be handy (heh) at least if we could get better notification reminders that align with our schedules to know when exactly to charge the watch so there's enough power for a night of sleep.



My Apple watch pops a notification to "charge before bedtime" if it's going to die while I'm asleep. Does yours not? Maybe it only does it if you have the sleep features enabled?


That's odd, I definitely have the sleep features enabled and it's a Series 6.


There is an option in the Watch app on the phone (what?). Look under Sleep for “charging reminders”. It will give you a reminder on your phone just before bedtime and you can use that time to charge it up before sleep tracking. It gives you the reminder no matter what charge level it is at.


Mine definitely only gives the reminder if it actually needs to be charged. I don't get the reminder if it doesn't.


Another downside to wearing at night and charging during the day - automatic updates don't happen automatically.
