To extend the battery life of the Huawei Watch Ultimate, consider these power-saving tips:
1. Disable Always-On Display (AOD): The AOD feature significantly reduces battery life. Disabling it can help extend battery life by more than half[6]. You can do this by going to Settings > Display and toggling off the Always-On option.
2. Use Power Saving Mode: While the Huawei Watch Ultimate does not explicitly mention a "Power Saving Mode" like some other devices, enabling Ultra-long Battery Life mode on other Huawei watches can significantly extend battery life by disabling features like mobile networks and Wi-Fi[1]. However, this mode is not specifically mentioned for the Watch Ultimate. Instead, you can manually adjust settings to mimic power-saving behavior.
3. Adjust Brightness and Screen Timeout: Lowering the screen brightness and reducing the screen timeout can help save battery. Go to Settings > Display to adjust these settings[4].
4. Limit GPS Usage: Frequent use of GPS for workouts can drain the battery quickly. Try to limit GPS usage to only when necessary, or use it in intervals to save power[8].
5. Turn Off Unnecessary Features: Disable features like Bluetooth, NFC, and notifications when not needed. This can help reduce power consumption and extend battery life[4].
6. Choose Efficient Watch Faces: Select watch faces with minimal animations and a black background to reduce power consumption. You can browse and select watch faces through the companion app on your smartphone[4].
7. Update Software Regularly: Ensure your watch is running the latest software, as updates often include optimizations that can improve battery life.
8. Use Wireless Charging Wisely: While the Huawei Watch Ultimate supports fast wireless charging, avoid overcharging, as this can reduce battery longevity over time.
By implementing these strategies, you can effectively extend the battery life of your Huawei Watch Ultimate, potentially achieving closer to the claimed two weeks of use in normal conditions.
