Along with the new smartwatch series the company also introduced a new feature which will be loved by the Apple Watch users. Apple has introduced a new low power mode feature which helps in increasing the battery life of the smartwatch by turning off some of the features.

However, the smartwatch will continue tracking the activities and will also keep fall detection switched on.
