How much does "Wake on Wrist Raise" affect battery life? (alien.top)

I like being able to use the watch without tapping the screen or using the digital crown, but I'm also an optimized battery enthusiast and like going two full days without charging.

And I raise my left arm a lot throughout the day.

You know what? I like that. I’ll give you that over “charge micromanager.”

From experience with past Watch models, turning off raise extended battery life noticeably although I’m not sure the exact percentage as I never formally measured it. If you have a newer watch, it’s possible you could still see somewhat longer battery life by disabling Raise to Wake while leaving Always On Display enabled
