How To Fix Apple Watch Charging?
To fix an Apple Watch charging issue, follow these steps:
Check the Charger and Cable: Ensure you're using the Apple Magnetic Charging Cable or USB-C Magnetic Fast Charging Cable that came with your Apple Watch, and that both ends are plugged in securely.
Clean the Charging Contacts: Inspect the charging contacts on the back of your Apple Watch and the charger for debris, dirt, or residue. Clean them gently if necessary.
Reposition the Watch: Make sure the back of your Apple Watch and the magnetic charger are aligned correctly. A charging symbol should appear on the watch face when the magnets align.
Try a Different Charger or Cable: If possible, try a different Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable or USB-C Magnetic Fast Charging Cable, and a different USB Power Adapter.
Force Restart: If your Apple Watch still won't charge, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo appears.
Optimized Battery Charging: If your Apple Watch is not charging to 100%, go to the Settings app, tap Battery > Battery Health, and disable 'Optimized Battery Charging' if it's enabled.
Drain the Battery: In some cases, draining the battery completely (until the watch is truly dead and pressing the crown displays nothing) and then charging it fully has been suggested as a solution by a retired Apple senior QA engineer.
Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps work, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
Remember to ensure that your Apple Watch and charger are not physically damaged, and that you have the latest software updates installed on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
