Re: Apple Watch 5 - battery preservation

[Tim Law]

I’ll often get two days out of mine, at that can include a bike ride where it’s 
tracking me. 

Ten hours is far too short and I imagine will need some more changes than just 
brightness.

Righto Brian, thanks for that, will check with Mum on doing that - if
she even knows how to will be the hard part. I certainly don't but I
am sure knowing Apple gear it will be intuitive.

Does anyone have a similar experience and are there some tips about 
configuration (pairing with iPhone) to minimise battery consumption so that she 
can avoid a during-the-day recharge?
