Battery Saver mode increases battery life by automatically turning on at a 15% battery level. It limits battery usage by limiting or turning off non-essential features without compromising on the health and fitness tracking or safety features of your Pixel Watch.

Turning on Battery Saver mode disables features that drain your device's power, including always-on display settings, and reduces background data usage. While background data is limited, you can still access the Internet when needed, when the watch is actively in use.

Note: Notifications may be delayed due to on-demand connectivity.
