Have you ever been in a situation where your Apple Watch is low on battery and has turned off, or you have purposely turned it off to prolong its battery life?
Wouldn’t it be super helpful if you could check the time on an Apple Watch without turning it on? In this guide, we will show you exactly that. So without any further ado, let’s get right into it.
Check time on Apple Watch without turning it on
You can easily check the time on an Apple Watch that is off by following a few simple steps.
When your Apple Watch is off, just press the Digital Crown button and wait. After a second or two, your Apple Watch’s screen will light up and show you the current time. The screen will go black once again after a few seconds.
This allows you to check the time without turning the Watch on. It also works when your device is low on battery and cannot turn on.
Remember, your Apple Watch needs some battery to be able to show the time using this method. If it has completely run out of battery, then you won’t be able to check the time without charging it.
This simple trick lets you see the time without having to turn on the Apple Watch and turn it back off. This saves both time and battery life that would otherwise be wasted on booting up the Apple Watch.
If your Apple Watch’s screen does not turn on
If you have performed the steps shared above, and your Apple Watch’s screen does not light up to show you the time, then it means it has completely run out of power.
You can solve this by placing the Apple Watch on its charger and charging it for some time.
Even with 0% battery, the time will appear as soon as you place the watch on its charger.
To prevent the Apple Watch’s battery from dying, make sure to take steps like enabling Low Power Mode on Apple Watch, turning off Always-On display, and charging your Watch daily.
