watchOS 9 battery saving mode would be limited by hardware

Rumors pointed before WWDC22 to a new more efficient watchOS 9. The integration of a new battery saving mode. This mode was similar to the one available in iOS and iPadOS, a tool to limit the options of the operating system, guaranteeing the usability of basic functions while conserving the maximum possible battery.

Remember that this potential battery saving mode must be differentiated from the low power mode. This last mode is activated when the watch drops below 10% battery guaranteeing that the clock will strike the hour, but the rest of the options are disabled, there is no access to any option related to watchOS beyond the time.
