When you are going to leave your Apple Watch in a drawer for a week, you’d better turn it off. This helps keep the battery charged while still in its sleep mode. Here are the procedures that will guide you when it comes to the power-off process of the Apple Watch;

Turn Off Your Apple Watch

Like the iPhone, the Apple watch can be turned off using the Side button. First, raise your wrist to wake the Apple watch. Next, press and hold the Side button.

Hints

The Side button is placed beneath Digital Crown. If you own an Apple Watch Ultra, then you should be extra cautious not to confuse it with the orange colored Action button.

At the bottom of the screen, when a side button is pressed for some moments, you will see the menu with the Medical ID and Compass Backtrack functions in the top right corner of the menu there is the On/Off symbol. If you wish to turn off your Apple watch swipe the power icon moving from the left to the right-hand side.

Then, press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears, which should take about five seconds.

That’s it. You have now turned on your Apple watch. You’ll just need to enter your passcode again once the watch has powered up again.
