Sleep tracking - charge reminders not working?

[Risco]

I have sleep tracking enabled, but it’s not reminding me to charge my watch before bed.

I have it enabled in settings.

Is your battery charge dropping to 30%? That's when the charging reminder should be triggered.

If you want to be reminded to charge your watch regardless, AutoSleep has that feature. I use that feature reminder as well as the one to remind me to put the watch back on my wrist.

As the others stated, it only happens if your watch is less than 30% and I believe it happens 1 hour before you are scheduled to start sleeping. I’m not sure what happens if you are at, say 31% one hour before sleep, but it drops under 30% within that hour. Maybe they estimate that 30% is enough to go from one hour before sleep all the way through morning.

Oh I see, no my battery is not below 30%. Is there a way to customise this to make it say 50%?

I don’t believe so. I think it’s essentially supposed to be an alert that if you don’t charge now then your watch won’t have enough power to make it through the night. If you have enough power to make it through the night then it won’t alert you.

If you just want a reminder to charge every night you could simply set an alarm to go off an hour before bedtime and give it the label “charge your watch” or something like that.

I don't think you get change it.

For what it's worth. My Series 4 watch uses 8% - 12% for 8 hours of in bed time.

I have one for 6.30pm every night, but I thought this could replace.

Same! My watch went into low power mode while I was asleep . I checked notifications on my phone to see if it ever reminded me to charge my apple watch. There weren’t any so it never happened.

iOS 16.1.1 here.
