Battery life is a very precious commodity on the Apple Watch, so it is quite important to keep tabs on it, so that you can charge it before it runs out of battery.
Unlike the iPhone or iPad, the Apple Watch doesn’t have a status bar where it displays the battery indicator by default.
There are couple of ways you can check how much battery is remaining.
Battery Glance
On the Apple Watch, swipe up on the watch face to access Glances. Swipe from left to right or right to left to the Battery glance. It gives you information about how much battery is remaining, and an option to use Power Reserve mode to stretch available power.
Add Battery Indicator to Watch face
The other option is to add the battery indicator to your current watch face. You can add the battery indicator to Watch faces such as Modular, Color, Utility, Simple, Chronograph, and Mickey Mouse.
- To add the battery indicator to the Watch face, firmly press the display on the watch face.
- Tap Customize.
- Then swipe to the left until you can choose individual feature locations,
- Tap on the location you want to display the battery indicator.
- Then turn the Digital Crown to select Battery.
- After selecting Battery, press the Digital Crown to exit customization options for the Apple Watch.
As you can see above, the battery indicator will be displayed on the watch face, so you can check it anytime.
