Features and setup

One battery view across two devices

Juice Watch shares the battery information that iPhone and Apple Watch make available in the background, then turns it into useful complications and alerts.

Battery status

Check either device from the other

The Apple Watch app receives your paired iPhone battery level. The iPhone app receives your Apple Watch battery level. Juice Watch stores the latest reading so you can see the value and when it arrived.

  • iPhone battery level in the Watch app and complications
  • Apple Watch battery level in the iPhone app
  • Charging state when it is included with an update
  • Last-updated context instead of pretending data is live

Learn how to check your Apple Watch battery from your iPhone.

Complications

Both batteries in one complication

Apple's built-in Battery complication shows the Apple Watch battery. On supported styles, Juice Watch can show iPhone and Apple Watch battery levels together in one complication.

  • Choose iPhone or Apple Watch for the number
  • Use the gauge for the other device
  • Larger styles can show both percentages as numbers
  • Quick access to the full Juice Watch app

Battery notifications

Choose the thresholds that fit your routine

Update timing

Background updates are periodic

Juice Watch does not continuously poll either battery. iOS and watchOS schedule background work to protect battery life, so updates typically arrive every 5 to 60 minutes. Starting with iOS 17 and watchOS 10, third-party apps receive battery values rounded to the nearest 5 percent.

Troubleshoot battery updates
