You can monitor your Apple Watch battery in several ways: check the current battery level, view usage history and charging patterns, and assess overall battery health.
The quickest check is Control Center, which shows the battery percentage, including for connected accessories like AirPods. You can also add a battery complication to the watch face, or see the time since the last charge. And Apple Watch alerts you when battery capacity is significantly reduced.
