Based on the provided reference, the "power mode" you are referring to is likely Power Reserve mode. To turn off Power Reserve mode on your Apple Watch, you need to press and hold the side button until you see the Apple Logo.
Understanding Apple Watch Power Reserve Mode
When Power Reserve mode is activated on your Apple Watch, its functionality is significantly limited to conserve battery. According to the reference:
- Once Power Reserve mode is turned on, your Apple Watch will display the time.
This mode is primarily used when the battery is critically low, ensuring you can still check the time. Many other features, like apps, notifications, and fitness tracking, are turned off.
Steps to Turn Off Power Reserve Mode
Unlike other modes or settings you might adjust through the control center or settings app, turning off Power Reserve mode requires a specific hardware action. The process effectively reboots your watch out of the low-power state.
Here’s exactly how to switch it off, directly following the reference:
- Locate the side button: This is the flat button situated below the Digital Crown on the side of your Apple Watch.
- Press and hold the side button: Firmly press down on the side button.
- Continue holding: Keep the button pressed. Do not release it immediately.
- Wait for the Apple Logo: Hold the side button until you see the Apple Logo appear on the screen. This indicates the watch is restarting.
- Release the button: Once the Apple logo is visible, you can release the side button.
Your Apple Watch will then boot up normally, and all its features will be available again, provided it has sufficient battery charge to operate outside of Power Reserve.
