Max Buondonno from ZDNET shares his love for his Apple Watch, which accompanies him everywhere he goes, from the gym to the office. He enjoys customizing the watch faces, choosing the right band, and using the QWERTY keyboard to reply to messages. However, the one issue that has frustrated him is the battery life, especially after upgrading to watchOS 10.1. Despite trying various solutions, including turning off the always-on display and using Low Power Mode, the battery life continues to disappoint. In his quest to improve battery life, he discovered several settings that can help, such as turning off background app refresh and reducing the number of notifications received. Ultimately, if all else fails, a factory reset may be necessary to identify the root cause of the battery drain.
