The Galaxy Watch 8 gets a key battery health feature that more smartwatches need

• Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 8 series introduces a “battery protection” feature designed to extend the device’s battery longevity.


• The feature works by stopping the charge at 90% and only resuming it when the battery level drops down to 85%.


• This prevents the battery from sitting at a full 100% charge, which reduces stress and helps slow long-term battery degradation.

Most people don’t upgrade their smartwatch every year, opting to keep their device until something much better comes along or the battery degrades. Unlike smartphones, however, most smartwatches don’t offer robust battery protection features, which limits your ability to extend their longevity. Fortunately, more smartwatch makers are starting to introduce these tools, with Samsung being the latest to do so in its new Galaxy Watch 8 series.

On previous Galaxy Watch models, the Settings > Battery menu only lists two options under the “Charging” section: “show charging info” and “auto power on.” The former controls whether your watch displays its battery level while charging to full, and the latter determines if your watch automatically powers on when you connect it to a charger.
