After almost a year of development, the Apple Watch version of BattView is now available.

What is BattView for Apple Watch

Just like the popular iOS app, it tests Bluetooth device battery levels.

Faster, Smarter, Better

Running automated battery tests on a Apple Watch is no easy feat. To save power and keep things efficient, BattView learns which devices have batteries and those that don't. The more you use BattView, the faster it gets.

Features

Screen Map

Here's a summary of BattView for Apple Watch functions.

Main Screen: Results of a default auto scan shows batteries level for devices in range. Devices without batteries are hidden. Press Re-Scan to do another battery scan.

You can press Auto → Full to change to full scanning mode. This scan takes a bit longer but it can find battery devices that were previously hidden.

Good news! Most users can stay on the Main Screen 100% of the time.

Here some of the optional things you can do:
Press ⚙ to show the Settings page. Press Large/Small to change font sizes. Press Restart the app and do another scan.
Press Auto Scan to change between Auto and Full scanning modes (same as changing Auto → Full on the Main Screen).
Press Edit Devices to see the list of previously scanned devices. Select a non-battery item to include in the next scan. Select a non-battery item to hide it from future scans.
Press Clear Hidden to re-enable all hidden devices and re-scan. Press Reset All to clear all previously scanned devices.

Installation

Installing BattView on the Apple Watch is quick and easy. Here's how:

Advanced Editing Functions

Running powerful apps on an Apple Watch is challenging. There are many watch restrictions that limit app processing and wireless communication. BattView maintains list of non-battery devices to be ignored and battery devices to be prioritized. Edit functions let you optimize scanning performance and speed.

Rest assured BattView is smart enough to efficiently scan devices. With Edit functions you can optionally make it smarter.

FAQ

Q: Why can't I get battery levels from all my devices?

A: There are a couple of challenges:

Many Bluetooth devices support only one connection at a time. It is best to run Battery Tests before opening any other apps. This lets GearView read battery levels before the respective devices are connected to other apps.
BattView supports Bluetooth devices that do not require secure pairing with a proprietary app. Devices like Garmin bike computers or Cycliq cameras will not report battery levels to a general purpose app like BattView.

I also recently discovered that BattView works well after finishing a ride. I shut down all my apps like Zwift and Stages Cycling. This makes battery scans fast and easy.
