Along with the low power mode, you should turn on less GPS and heart rate readings to save battery life. After enabling this feature, GPS measurements are reduced to once every two minutes, and heart rate readings are reduced to once per minute.
To turn on low power mode and have less GPS and heart rate readings:
- Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch Ultra.
