The smartwatch is a smart device, highly sought after these days, not only by athletes but also by people looking for a device with cutting-edge technology, equipped with advanced functions.
Furthermore, considering the various smartwatch models available, they add the perfect touch to any look, without sacrificing affordability.
Considered a faithful companion for adventure, the truth is that the smartwatch is a gadget that accompanies us everywhere, which increases the likelihood of it being damaged and reducing its battery life.
Therefore, in addition to all the guarantees that Miss Trend offers regarding its durability and versatility, in this article we have compiled 6 tips to extend the lifespan of your smartwatch.
Check it out!
1. Keep your smartwatch clean and dry.
Even though most of our smartwatches are guaranteed to be water-resistant, it's crucial to dry off any excess water after direct contact. This prevents moisture from accumulating in small cracks that may appear. This doesn't prevent you from cleaning sweat, odors, or other debris and particles that may appear, especially on your smartwatch's straps.
If you've opted for a men's digital watch with a more robust leather strap, or women's smartwatches with more refined steel bracelets designed for casual wear, it's not necessary to completely submerge them in water. A soft, clean, lint-free cloth is sufficient to remove accumulated dirt.
On the other hand, for smartwatches used for physical and high-impact activities, watches with silicone straps are the most suitable, such as the Smartwatch PRO Plus. .
Even during the summer, devices can be a good companion on your trips to the beach, but it's inevitable that you'll be exposed to sand, ocean salt, or even the grease from your sunscreen.
In this regard, the best option is, whenever possible, to wash the watch with fresh water and allow all the moisture to dry, preventing discoloration of the straps.
2. Do not adjust the smartwatch too tightly on your wrist.
Adjusting your smartwatch to your wrist as tightly as possible, for fear of failing to record physical monitoring, can be the reason for minor technical glitches. However, marks, sweat, and the pressure the watch is subjected to can cause damage that becomes apparent over time.
The ideal size for your smartwatch will always be one that allows you to move it back and forth and sits two fingers above the crease of your wrist. If, during your high-impact workout, you have adjusted the smartwatch to prevent it from moving or giving inaccurate heart rate readings, don't forget to loosen it at the end of your physical activity.
The risk of your watch detaching is almost zero, and in addition, our watch bands have a proven safety system!
3. Turn off features to maximize battery life.
One of the main reasons users replace their devices more regularly is battery capacity, which tends to change depending on watch usage. Therefore, just as caring for the exterior of your smartwatch is important, preserving its operating system is also crucial.
The truth is that turning off features on your device, such as Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, or location services, when you're not using them, prevents excessive battery consumption and overheating, increasing its daily lifespan. All this without ever preventing notifications from being received, as you're only opting for one of the smartwatch's features.
Also with long-term guarantees, small habits such as reducing the screen brightness, using the watch in "snooze" mode, disabling the function that activates the smartwatch by the movement of your wrist, and never letting the battery completely discharge, will also ensure greater longevity of the device.
It's worth noting that the charging method used, whether a magnetic charger or a micro USB cable, also influences your watch's operating system.
4. Block unnecessary notifications
50% of your smartwatch's activity occurs when you're not actively using it. That is, even if you're not literally using your apps, the watch's connectivity with your smartphone tends to "wake it up" whenever a notification appears.
Therefore, ensuring that you only have the notifications you're truly interested in active will guarantee that the smartwatch only turns on when necessary and prevent unnecessary battery drain.
5. Uninstall apps you don't use.
Monitoring your gadget's storage will ensure much greater system accessibility and speed. Overloading, or pushing to the limit, of your smartwatch's maximum capacity will make it slow and less usable in everyday life.
Therefore, take a look at the pre-installed system apps and remove anything that isn't useful to you, because ensuring minimal battery usage gives you the opportunity to store information you consider relevant on your watch!
6. Use tempered glass to protect the screen.
Most smartwatches on the market offer a screen made with shock- and scratch-resistant materials, although not always as we would like.
Fortunately, nowadays there is a wider range of tempered glass products developed specifically to protect our smartwatch and reduce screen visibility, such as the Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Smartwatches .
In addition, it is possible to find some even more resistant protective covers, although these alter the design of the watch and are not always compatible with the model you have chosen.
