Brett’s iTip: Previously the Apple Watch had a “Power Reserve” mode but with watchOS 9, there is now an official “Low Power Mode” which does a whole lot of things to lessen the strain on the battery including less pings to cellular, etc. The Apple Watch Ultra also lets me go to the Workout settings and turn on "Low Power Mode Workout with Fewer GPS and Heart Rate Readings" which I had to confirm each time I started a workout, but it GREATLY extended the battery life on the watch!

Jeff’s iTip: Consider Turning Off 5G on your iPhone - you can toggle 5G on or off in the Settings app by going to Settings - Cellular - Cellular Data Options and selecting whether you want to use 5G or just LTE. Test having it on versus having it off.  If it isn’t helping, it may be draining your battery unnecessarily.
