Notification when smartwatch battery is low

I tried to check if there's a way to create a routine or automation for this, but I couldn't find anything related to the battery level of a Bluetooth device.

Is there any way to get a notification when my smartwatch battery is low?

I often realize that my smartwatch is almost dead only when I'm about to go out — which is super annoying. I'd love to get a reminder when it's getting low so I can charge it in time.

Any ideas or workarounds? Thanks!

Since most smartwatches don’t natively send low-battery alerts to your phone, try these workarounds:

1. Use a Companion App

  • Samsung Galaxy Watches:

    • Open the Galaxy Wearable app, go to Watch settings > Notifications, and enable "Show watch battery on phone" (displays battery % in your phone’s status bar).

    • For alerts, try third-party apps like "Battery Widget Reborn" (displays battery % as a widget).

  • Wear OS Watches (Pixel Watch, TicWatch, etc.):

    • Use apps like "Wear Battery Full Alert" (sends phone notifications at custom battery levels).

2. Automate with Tasker (Advanced)

If your watch broadcasts battery data over Bluetooth:

  • Set up Tasker to monitor battery logs and trigger a notification when the level drops below a threshold (e.g., 20%).

  • Requires some setup with Logcat Entry or Bluetooth Event detection.

3. Use IFTTT (For Supported Watches)

  • Some Garmin/Withings watches work with IFTTT to send email/app alerts when battery is low.

  • Check if your watch brand supports IFTTT applets for battery alerts.

4. Watch Faces with Alerts

  • Custom watch faces (like those in Facer or WatchMaker) can show battery % prominently or vibrate when low.

5. Samsung Routines (Basic Reminder)

While Modes & Routines can’t directly check watch battery:

  • Set a daily time-based reminder (e.g., "Alert me at 9 PM to charge watch").

6. SmartThings (For Samsung Ecosystem)

  • If your watch appears in SmartThings, check if battery alerts are available.

Quick Fixes

  • Charge nightly (e.g., during showers) to avoid surprises.

  • Restart watch/phone if Bluetooth disconnects often.

Which watch model do you have? I can suggest more specific steps!
