The Apple Watch Ultra lasts for 60 hours, but how exactly do you get there?

The Apple Watch Ultra is a fresh appearance in the smartwatch market. It is specially made for adventurers who demand the utmost from a watch. Partly for that reason, it lasts 60 hours, but how do you achieve that?

Of course we had known for a while that Apple was working on a more expensive smartwatch and in September we saw the result. One of the features is a battery life of 60 hours. Anyway, that may be true on paper, but how do you really achieve that?

60 hours with the Apple Watch Ultra

Not many users will get that 60 hours of battery life, because according to Apple, the Apple Watch Ultra lasts about 36 hours with normal use. You can of course use various functions such as training and health tracking.

If you really want it you can even get 60 hours. Apple promised that earlier, but since watchOS 9.1 that is really a fact. The company calls this ‘multi-day adventure battery life’ with the Apple Watch Ultra.

But how exactly do you get that 60 hours of battery life. To do this, you have to follow a number of steps. We explain exactly how you can do that.

That’s how you do that

First of all, of course, you go to the Settings of your Watch Ultra. Then you have to go to a somewhat unexpected option, namely that of Workout. In that section you will find the Low Power Mode.

Check this box and your Apple Watch will last a lot longer on a full charge. To really reach the 60 hours, you also have to select in the same menu that the smartwatch collects less GPS and heart rate data.

But of course this does not only apply to the Workout-data. You will also have to take other measures. So should you also the general Low Power Mode on the Apple Watch Ultra.

To do that, press the battery percentage in the Control panel that you see when you swipe up. There you can Low Power Mode Selecting. It is also useful to turn off your notifications.
