1. Fully Charge the Device
Connect your watch to a power source and charge it until it reaches 100%. Keep it connected for an additional 30 minutes to ensure a full charge.
2. Use the Device Until It Turns Off
Unplug the device and use it normally until the battery is completely depleted and the watch turns off automatically.
3. Charge to 100% Without Interruption
Reconnect the device to the charger and let it charge uninterrupted until it reaches 100%. Do not turn it on during this process.
Additional Tips for Battery Longevity
