The Google Pixel Watch (3rd generation: € 289.70 *) could soon receive an update that improves battery life with a function called “Adaptive Charging”. This technology, already known from Pixel smartphones, analyzes the charging habits of users and adapts the charging process accordingly. The aim is to charge the battery more gently and thus extend its service life.
The most important facts in brief
- Adaptive charging: Adapts the charging process to the usage habits.
- Gentle on the battery: Avoids long dwell times at 100% charge.
- Improved battery life: Longer battery life thanks to optimized charging.
New battery feature of the Google Pixel Watch
The implementation of Adaptive Charging on the Pixel Watch could work in a similar way to the current Google Pixel 9 (€ 660.00 *). For example, if the watch is regularly charged overnight and removed from the charger at the same time in the morning, it will initially only charge up to 80%. The battery is only fully charged to 100% shortly before the usual time of removal. This reduces the time the battery spends at full charge, which has been proven to slow down the ageing of the battery.
Why is Adaptive Charging useful for the Google Pixel Watch?
As the Pixel Watch offers a battery life of around 24 hours under normal use, it is particularly important to conserve the battery. A healthy battery ensures that the watch works reliably throughout the day. In addition, replacing the battery in the Pixel Watch is technically demanding and hardly feasible for most users. A function such as Adaptive Charging is therefore particularly valuable to ensure the longevity of the smartwatch.
When will the feature be available?
There is currently no official information from Google about when Adaptive Charging will be available for the Pixel Watch. The experts at Android Authority have found corresponding clues in the code of the latest version of the Pixel Watch Management Service app. For this reason, it is likely that Google will introduce this function in the near future.
Conclusion – A clever feature for longer battery life
Overall, Adaptive Charging promises to be a useful extension for the Pixel Watch that not only improves battery life in everyday use, but also increases the long-term life of the battery. Users can therefore benefit from the full performance of their smartwatch for longer.
