How often do you turn your Apple Watch off?

[Orangeman13]

Or do you turn it off at all? I would think turning it off once in a while would be good for it?

 

[chabig]

No, and no. How often do you turn off your refrigerator? Some things are built to be on continuously.

 

[bricktop_at]

Practically never turn it off, no reason for it unless it behaves erratically

I've restarted mine once since I got it in September.

 

[mk313]

I restart mine every Friday night. It might be overkill, but back when I had the Series 2, I had it crash on me during several runs where I lost all of my data. After that happened a few times, I got into the habit. Since then, I've continued to restart it every week. I've never had another issue, and don't want to jinx myself.

Never, it restarts when there’s an OS update

 

[Killbynumbers]

Never. I always have two watches so when one needs to be charged, I simply put on the other one.

 

[JBaby]

I only turn it off to throughly clean it and after every update.

 

[joeblough]

one of them i turn off practically every day - the one i wear while the other is charging. after the primary watch is charged i turn off the 2nd watch to preserve the battery for the next day. i figure it's not great to keep it charged between 96% or whatever and 100% all the time.

as for my primary watch i rarely turn it off - maybe once every 2 weeks.

Mine usually only gets restarted after an update. Same for iPhone iPad and Mac.

Since reading here that the DoD of 60% is good to extend battery health and because I don't wear it at night, I now just turn it off during the night. I charge it once a day and use about 50-60% during the day.

I turn it off when I need to clean it. Mine can get grubby from a lot of my activities and skin chemistry and I have to give it a good scrubbing periodically. There are also the occasional reboots for WatchOS updates.

 

[sixtydashone]

Never.

 

[jsmith_273]

Turned mine off once when it was misbehaving, no reason to turn off otherwise.

Never

The ones I’m not wearing I put in to power save. Although I can’t see any harm in fully powering down?

 

[Indianwin]

This. I also always have 2 watches. The latest 2 versions.

 

[tranceking26]

once, just to learn how, but never needed to since

 

[firedept]

Never. No reason to turn it off. Would you pull the batteries out of a regular watch?

 

[svenmany]

Every now and again, the face refuses to respond to up/down swipes. I reboot when that happens. Other than that, and for software updates, I don't turn the watch off.

I once read that the swipe bug is a consequence of some zoom setting (which I used to have set, but no longer do).

 

[SisterBlue22]

Never.

 

[xraydoc]

It can be turned off? lol.

 

[BugeyeSTI]

Maybe once a month I'll do a restart...

 

[Lee_Bo]

Mine restarts whenever there’s an update, but I don’t think I’ve ever powered it off.

A hard reset is good for your apple devices every once in a while
