Reminders for workouts will be disabled as well.
The mode will turn off Wi-Fi and cellular connections if there isn't an iPhone nearby that is connected to the watch, the report said.
Earlier this month, the tech giant had added an optimised battery charging feature in its Apple Watch running watchOS 9 that would learn from users' charging habits to slow battery ageing.
Similar to the iPhone version of the feature, it figures out when it's best to charge the battery to 100 per cent based on the user's charging habits.
