Hello

I would like to ask, if anyone knows what's a good practice when you buy a new watch regarding charging?

I have some different responses. A representative recommend to me that I should allow the battery to drain completely prior to the first charge, as a best practice standard.

When I bought my Lenovo Laptop, Lenovo representative on the email told me that I should first fully charge the new laptop 1-2 hours and then when it's fully charged, to turn it on

What's the best practices to do to extend and preserve battery life?

Thank you

That information is out of date with today’s battery technology IMO. Make sure the Optimize Battery option is enabled.

Mine wouldn’t update from the cloud until I upgraded it to the latest version and I always charge it while installing an upgrade. It was a long upgrade and was at 100% when finally complete.

Normally, I charge it after I wake up while having coffee, and I take it off while showering to keep it away from soap residue.

Whatever fits in with your life and depending on how long the battery lasts. For eg I don’t sleep track so I charge mine to full every night, but you may want to charge it while you have a shower and coffee in the morning if you want to check your sleep out.
