Apple Watch Mindfulness Reflect & Battery

I noticed my Apple Watch battery struggling to keep it’s charge. I didn’t change my battery charging routine or add any new apps. The battery health says 100% (which is way better than my iPhone battery health!)

One thing I did change - I switched to Reflect mode in the Mindfulness app.

I was using the Breathe mode before - Apple Watch would provide breathing guidance with vibration. Great to center my breath on a set interval.

I moved on to that and just want to breathe on my own rhythm - so I use the Reflect mode.

The Reflect mode doesn’t have the guided breathing - it does provide visuals. Pretty visuals like a lava lamp.

Ironically, I close my eyes during my meditation and these visuals just go out to the world.

I suspect switching to the Reflect mode is negatively affecting my battery.

Now to test this hypothesis.
