How to Turn Off Low Power Mode on Apple Watch

 Low Power mode, a new feature released for the Apple Watch in watchOS 9, reduces the amount of power that your Apple Watch uses so that you can save battery life. Apple released Low Power Mode as a long-awaited replacement for the Apple Watch's previous battery-saving mode, Power Reserve. Power Reserve would lock your Apple Watch after a certain battery percentage, allowing you to only see the time unless you restarted the watch. Low Power mode preserves your Apple Watch battery while still allowing you to use many of the watch's features. Low Power mode works well, but it does disable some of your Apple Watch's advanced features in order to save your battery. Turning the feature on and off is actually pretty simple. We'll walk you through it below.

Apple Watch bands have different purposes. The Sport band is particularly perfect for exercising, while you might want a Milanese Loop for special events, and a double tour leather strap for day-to-day wear. Once you’ve acquired multiple bands, the question becomes, “where do I store these things?” Especially since each band is in two pieces, it would be easy to lose one. I’ve seen plenty of travel kits for Apple Watch, but the Monochest ($79.99) by Monowear is the first Apple Watch band holder I’ve encountered.

Apple releases a new version of iOS every year of late and iPhone owners are encouraged to download the update as soon as possible. This is because new versions of iOS contain not only convenient new capabilities, but also repairs for glitches, and new security features that keep our devices safe from viruses and other malware. The Apple Watch is no different from the iPhone in its need to have regular software updates, so let's get started learning how to update watchOS so your device can deliver its full potential of features and capabilities! 

watchOS 9

Apple unveiled its new smartwatch operating system, watchOS 9, during the WWDC 2022 keynote address. These updates focus on perfecting the Apple Watch as a fitness device. While we did get some additional watch faces and updates to banner notifications, Apple’s focus with watchOS 9 is clearly on health tracking and fitness.

In 2021, watchOS 8 brought with it the addition of AssistiveTouch, an accessibility feature to help make the device easier to navigate for those who have difficulty using the small touchscreen. With watchOS 9, Apple expands on its gesture control. One of the coolest new gestures is the ability to double-pinch to start and stop your workout. This means you don't need to be able to touch the screen to pause or restart your workout.

This Gesture Is the Easiest Way to Take a Photo on the Apple Watch

In 2021, watchOS 8 brought with it the addition of Assitive Touch, an innovative accessibility feature to help make the device easier to navigate for those who have difficulty using the small touch screen. With watchOS 9, Apple expands on its gesture control, adding pinching to move forward and clenching fist to tap. One of the coolest new gestures is the ability to double-pinch to take a photo, eliminating the need to even press a button when taking a photo with the Apple Watch Camera Remote. I'll show you how below.

Apple Watch 7 review

The Apple Watch Series 7 isn’t the upgrade I’d been hoping for, but I bought it anyway. Let me explain. In spring of 2021, as Apple rumors began picking up, we saw renders of a completely redesigned smartwatch. It was going to have sleek flat edges reminiscent of the latest iPhones and iPads. It would house a blood glucose monitor, and, by some accounts, a sensor that measured stress levels. This was going to be a massive upgrade. But as September drew near, the forecast changed. Apple analysts broke it to us that we’d have to wait a whole year to see any of these upgrades!

WWDC 2022 roundup

Apple's 2022 WWDC keynote was packed full of features many of us have been requesting for quite some time, from a customizable Lock Screen to multiple stops in Apple Maps. While most of it isn't groundbreaking technology, they're features many users will appreciate. Apple also announced a new MacBook Air, powered by the next generation of Apple's in-house processing chip, called the M2. Let's dive in to all the goodies and upgrades coming our way.

The Scribble feature makes Apple Watch lets you compose texts by writing the words on your Watch Face with a finger rather than dictating them to Siri. Quiet texts on the Apple Watch make it easier to send and receive texts discreetly. But what happens when your watch fails to correctly translate your scribbling into text? With Scribble on the Apple Watch, you can also edit incorrect words without talking to Siri. Here’s how to text on an Apple Watch and edit texts using Scribble.

During Apple's September event, Apple announced its new fitness subscription service: Fitness+. Apple says Fitness+ will create comprehensive, personalized workouts that include music, metrics, and instructors for all lifestyles and fitness levels. This is a logical offering in a time when many gyms are closed and many people are looking for safe and solitary ways to stay fit, but with so many free fitness programs out there, how will Fitness+ differentiate itself and justify the monthly price tag? One unique feature is that this is the first digital fitness program to synchronize with the Apple Watch, so tracking your activity, heart rate, calories, and more will be easier and more in-depth than if you were using a different program, and workout suggestions promise new levels of personalization. Users will play a workout on their iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV while their Apple Watch tracks and records their activity. And even though the Apple Watch will be collecting and analyzing more data than ever before, Apple promises that all the information, from instructors to calories, will be kept private.
