Has anyone tested Power Reserve mode?

Looks like you'll have to be the guinea pig.... I don't think anybody would want to be without full functionality for what I assume would be a few days minimum.
Yeah, that's what I was worried about. I don't want to be without mine, either. LOL
I could have sworn some guy on here ran his iPhone or was running his iPhone in power reserve mode all the time and we had this big debate over it.
Yeah, I'm just wondering if, say we run it in
Yeah, it would be interesting if it lasted a week or something, if in power reserve mode from the start, but I haven't had the chance to test it.
I may try that for one day and report back; however, I don't know yet.

I bet it would last quite long, especially if you look at how long it keeps the watch alive if you are running low
And the iPhone in Power Reserve is just a slower iPhone. However an
Watch in Power Reserve is just a 'brick' with a cheep ½ a$$ digital watch attached.

That's what we were debating. That power reserve turns the phone into a slower version of the same phone.
Actuallly power reserve mode on the Apple watch turns it into a 70's digital watch. LOL
Yeah, that's why I'm curious. If I had a weeklong camping trip, for instance, I'm wondering if I could keep wearing the Watch the whole time in Power Reserve mode, rather than bringing another watch since I'd already be wearing the Apple Watch on the drive there. Not necessary, but it's fun to consider.
A lot of these issues can be solved with a portable battery park honestly. You can pick up a candy bar type for $15.00
it will charge your device 2 times before it dies. 2-3 of those or a large capacity pack would last you the entire trip.

Here is a better idea for camping and a week without power to charge your
Watch. You can have alarms, timers, seconds, date, stopwatch, 10 years without needing Power Reserve .... and no risks.http://www.walmart.com/ip/Casio-Men-s-Multi-Function-Alarm-Sports-Watch/15913685
I was at a 4 day camp without my phone so I decided to put the watch into power reserve mode. I started at 86% and when I turned the watch back on it had 75%
I would say it could last two weeks between a charge

I actually have run power reserve on numerous occasions-- usually if I go away for a weekend, forget my puck, and it's my only watch. I've seen it last 2 full days, starting power reserve at around 30%. Pretty impressed and actually dig the PR watch face!

I already own a G-shock that's powered by solar, but that isn't the point. Say I forget to bring it, or loose it, etc., and I only have my Watch with me. I'm just curious about how long the Power Reserve does last.
