Apple Watch to Get Sleep Tracking, Raises Doubts About Battery Life

Apple Watch has gained its fair share of popularity and fame over the years, but one when it comes to usage of it, it never really had the battery life the same as its competition. On top of it, now that the new watchOS 7 is going to add sleep tracking, Watch’s activity duration is subject to criticism.

Given the fact that Apple Watch’s best effort at sustaining battery is approximately about two days, sleep tracking, on the other hand, is a feature that demands much more from a smartwatch for convenience. Perhaps, this battery limit was keeping Apple at bay from introducing this handy feature, but all that has now changed.

At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2020, all the sleep-related features had been in the spotlight with Vera Carr, the Software Engineering Manager at Apple’s Health, providing an insight.

One of these latest traits includes Wind Down, which is a quality of the Apple Watch that reminds the user about their bedtime routine and makes them get ready for it. Moreover, it’s packed with various shortcuts that help relax, and seek meditative pleasure aimed to make anyone using it comfortably, and initiate sleep.

Besides, the Watch will also comprise a highly specific “sleep mode,” which lessens the screen’s brightness and works as if Do Not Disturb has been turned on, which is a feature found quite commonly in mobile phones.

The built-in motion sensors that detect the rise and decline in breathing patterns work closely following the Watch’s learning that analyzes the behavior relating to sleep. This is technology at its finest made by none other than Apple itself.

In other news, Vera Carr said, “It also shows your battery level so you can remember to charge in the morning.” This statement gives off one solid reason to believe that the battery of the Apple Watch won’t be improving much.

The Watch will also have constant charging reminders that are created to fit seamlessly with our schedule, such as when taking a shower. One would only need to charge its state-of-the-art smartwatch carefully and daily to maximize its full potential.

Nevertheless, with a new Apple Watch Series 6 coming later this year, speculation has it that the up to date innovation is going to pack a bigger battery, which is going to accommodate the watchOS 7 in full.
