1. Why HiWatch Battery Drains Fast

Many users think their watch is defective, but the truth is:

90% of fast battery drain is caused by software settings.

Common reasons include:

Screen brightness too high
Always-on display enabled
GPS running in background
Continuous health monitoring
Bluetooth calling always active
Too many notifications
Using live wallpapers
Old firmware version
Sleep tracking running all night
Weather updates every 15 minutes

Understanding these helps you optimize battery effectively.

2. Realistic Battery Expectations

Depends on model & usage:

✔ HiWatch Basic Models

3–5 days (normal use)
~2 days (heavy use)

✔ HiWatch Pro / T800 / T900 Series

2–4 days (normal)
1–2 days (heavy)

✔ HiWatch Plus

Up to 5–7 days (eco mode)

3. How to Check Battery Health

Battery health tells you whether your smartwatch is aging normally.

Steps:

Go to Settings
Scroll to Battery
Check:
- Battery consumption
- Screen usage
- Background apps
- Watch face usage

If your screen usage is over 50%, reduce brightness or turn off Always-On Display.

4. Battery Optimization Settings on the Watch

These internal settings greatly influence battery life.

✔ 1. Reduce Screen Brightness

Settings → Display → Brightness

Recommended:

Indoors: 20–40%
Outdoor: 60%

✔ 2. Reduce Screen Timeout

Settings → Display → Screen Timeout → 5–10 sec

✔ 3. Disable Always-On Display (AOD)

AOD is one of the biggest battery killers.

✔ 📸 Display Settings

✔ 4. Turn Off Dynamic Wallpapers

Live wallpapers drain CPU + GPU.

Use a simple static image instead.

✔ 5. Turn Off Vibration for Each Notification

High vibration strength drains battery quickly.

Settings → Vibration → Medium / Low

✔ 6. Use Power Saving Mode (if available)

Some HiWatch models include:

Power Save Mode
Ultra Save Mode

This reduces animations, background processes, and sync frequency.

5. Battery Optimization in the HiWatch App

The HiWatch App has many settings affecting battery life.

✔ 1. Reduce Notification Sync

Go to:
HiWatch App → Notifications

Turn off apps you don’t need such as:

TikTok
Snapchat
YouTube
Facebook Messenger
Email alerts

Only keep:
✔ WhatsApp
✔ Calls
✔ SMS

✔ 2. Disable 24/7 Heart Rate Monitoring

Continuous tracking = continuous battery drain.

Set to:

Every 10 minutes
Manual measurement only (best for battery)

✔ 3. Disable SpO2 Continuous Monitoring

SpO2 consumes a lot of power—use only when needed.

✔ 4. Reduce Weather Update Frequency

Settings → Weather → Update Period
Set to: 1 hour or manual

✔ 5. Disable “Raise to Wake” if battery is critical

This feature triggers the screen hundreds of times per day.

6. Features That Consume the Most Battery

Based on user testing, the top battery killers:

Feature	Battery Impact
Always-on display	🔥 Massive drain
Brightness 100%	🔥 High
Bluetooth Calling	🔥 High
Live wallpapers	🔥 High
GPS tracking	🔥 High
WhatsApp notifications	Medium
Raise-to-wake	Medium
Weather updates	Medium
Step counter	Low
Heart rate manual check	Low

7. What to Disable for Longer Battery Life

If your battery drains too fast, disable the following:

❌ Disable These

Always-On Display
Dynamic wallpapers
Continuous SpO2 tracking
Continuous stress tracking
Over 10 app notifications

❌ Reduce These

Raise to Wake
Weather updates
Vibration intensity
Screen brightness

✔ Battery-Saving Watch Face

Use a dark, simple watch face with no animations.

8. Recommended Power-Saving Configuration (Best Balance)

This is the recommended best battery + full functionality setup:

Setting	Recommended
Brightness	30–40%
Screen timeout	5 sec
AOD	Off
Raise to wake	On
HR monitoring	10-minute interval
SpO2	Manual only
Notifications	WhatsApp + Calls only
Vibration	Medium
Weather refresh	1 hour

This gives:

HiWatch: 3–4 days
HiWatch Pro: 2–3 days
HiWatch Plus: 5 days

9. Night Mode & Sleep Battery Tips

To reduce overnight drain:

✔ Enable Do Not Disturb

Stops excessive notifications.

✔ Turn brightness to low

Night mode → Auto / Manual

✔ Disable Raise-to-Wake (during sleep)

Prevents screen from lighting unintentionally.

✔ Disable Wi-Fi (if your model has it)

10. Charging Tips to Extend Battery Lifespan

Most users shorten battery lifespan by improper charging.

Follow these rules:

✔ 1. Charge Within 20–80%

Avoid letting battery drop to 0% daily.

✔ 2. Charge slowly

Avoid fast chargers. Use:

5V 1A
5V 0.5A (best for smartwatch longevity)

✔ 3. Don’t charge overnight

Lithium batteries degrade when overcharged.

✔ 4. Keep charging temperature cool

Heat = battery killer.
