<\/p>\nMost Apple Watch users charge their watch every night, putting it on a charger as part of a bedtime routine. If that\u2019s you, make sure you\u2019re not missing one of the Apple Watch\u2019s best features: nightstand mode. When you enable it in the iPhone\u2019s Watch app, in General > Nightstand Mode, a charging Apple Watch displays the charging status, current time and date (in a large, easily readable font), and the time of any alarm you\u2019ve set. It uses a green color that won\u2019t shock your eyes in the middle of the night, and after a minute, the screen goes completely dark. To see it again, tap the watch or\u2014even better!\u2014the surface it\u2019s on. The screen lights up for 10 seconds before going dark again. Computer Advantage carries Apple Watch chargers that support nightstand mode.<\/p>\n
