Learn how to use the handy Charging Reminders feature, which sends an alert on your iPhone to charge your Apple Watch before going to sleep and notifies you when the wearable is fully charged.
Charging Reminders is a great feature to have, especially if you tend to juice up your Apple Watch before bedtime, so you can wear it at night for sleep tracking purposes. In fact, the Apple Watch relies on you to charge it an hour before your scheduled bedtime if the battery is below thirty percent, so this notification definitely comes in handy.
Even the types who don’t track their sleep with their watch will deem this alert useful, provided they’ve developed a habit of placing their watch on its charger the first thing after waking up. If you’re in that group, you can safely go about your morning routine, knowing your watch will ping you as soon as it has finished charging, so you can immediately put it on your wrist.
Get notified when Apple Watch needs to charge or has finished charging
Open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap “Sleep” from the “My Watch” tab, and turn on Charging Reminders.
You’ll now receive reminders to charge your watch before your scheduled bedtime, as well as get notified when the device is fully charged. It will send a reminder that reads: Apple Watch Battery: Your [name] ’s Apple Watch is fully charged.
