Modes and Routines are one of One UI’s biggest unsung heroes. This seemingly innocuous Samsung feature is so, so powerful when used in the right way. One use case that I’ve only recently stumbled across is for keeping my Galaxy Watch’s battery afloat a little longer.
My Galaxy Watch 4 is not the spring chicken it once was. Even in its heyday, the watch had pretty dismal battery life, lasting a little over a day with always-on display active and health monitoring turned to max. But, with the use of Modes and Routines, I’ve added at least half a day to this quota, and I believe that more recent Galaxy Watch models can benefit even more.
