The Apple Watch Ultra is Apple’s latest smartwatch and it has a lot of special options. On the one hand, because providing exclusive options makes it a coveted device and, on the other hand, its internal characteristics allow it to advance further technologically. One of these exclusive options arrived with watchOS 9 and it was the optimized load limit, a tool that monitored user activity and determined when to fully charge the battery and when to leave it at an optimized limit. This feature known as “optimized load limit” comes to more Apple Watch with watchOS 10.
More Apple Watch will benefit from the optimized charging limit
The first beta of watchOS 10 is available now and requires an iPhone running iOS 17 to download. Among some of the most interesting new features is the Added Optimized Charging Limit to more Apple Watch. This function which learns from the user to determine how and when to charge the battery of the watch will come to the Apple Watch SE, Series 6, Series 7 and Series 8, in addition to the Ultra model whose model was the only one to have this function to date. .

There are currently two features around battery and battery optimization that can sometimes be confused:
- Optimized load: Optimized charging allows the watch to learn from our charging habits and improve battery life. When the function is activated, the watch will delay charging more than 80% in certain situations. Using machine learning, the watch knows our charging routine and charging is triggered when the watch needs to be connected to a charger for a long time. Thus, the objective is none other than to ensure that the watch is charged when we remove it from the charger.
- Optimized load limit: this function allows predict the battery life we will use for a given day and only charge the battery to a level sufficient to meet the expected needs. If it is seen that it has a charging limit, the user can force automatic charging because he thinks he will make heavy use of the watch that day.
These features incorporate technology based on machine learning of user patterns with the aim of promote and take care of the battery to ensure we prolong its lifespan the most possible. And with watchOS 10, this feature will come to more watches.
