Optionally, turn on Low Power Mode on this screen to extend your run time a bit. Other options here include Battery Health information. A 100% capacity means the battery is good as new. Battery capacity will gradually decrease over time as you’re using your Apple Watch. This is normal for all lithium-ion batteries.

The Battery Health screen includes a toggle for Optimized Battery Charging, another thoughtful feature designed to prolong battery life. Optimized Battery Charging is turned on by default on iPhones, MacBooks, newer AirPods, and Apple Watches.

Note: Older OS versions show last charge time in the companion Watch app on your iPhone. Select the My Watch tab, navigate to General > Usage. From and find Time Since Last Full Charge at the bottom.
