To be honest I don't really know the chip that well, I'm just trying to 
add this feature and hopefully help others if they run into the same 
problem. I think @Adam will be more helpful here.

But from quick look at da9062 datasheet, mainly chapter "8.8 Power 
Modes" I see next main differences:
- setting WATCHDOG_SD enables SHUTDOWN sequence when the watchdog 
timeout is triggered. This puts the chip (da9062) in RESET mode.
Taken from DA9062 datasheet:
> In RESET mode, the internal supplies, and LDO1 (if configured as an always-on supply) are enabled. 
> All other DA9062 supplies are disabled.
> DA9062 is in RESET mode whenever a complete application shutdown is required
> The DA9062’s register configuration will be re-loaded from OTP when leaving the RESET mode

- if you set the WAKE_UP bit than the chip enters POWERDOWN mode on 
watchdog timeout. I understand the POWERDOWN mode as a not that "deep" 
mode as a RESET mode Device will go from RESET mode to POWERDOWN mode in 
the sequence of powering-up.

The above explanation is just my understanding after quick look, @Adam 
please correct me if I'm talking nonsense.

Please have a look at the DA9062 datasheet for more information. Sorry, 
that I can't be more helpful here.

Best regards,
Andrej
