That is because Apple will make changes to the iOS that have to do with interfacing with the chipsets in MFi cables/chargers/accessories. If you have a certified MFi charger that is not usually and issue as Apple communicates the changes/codes to the MFi companies. If you are using stolen information, which Baseus is, then they will not be notified and they will have to steal some new codes to make their future cables/accessories work correctly. They also wrong state in their site that their accessories are certified. Nice company.

No it isn't the same for the Wireless case, that works with a Qi charger. The Apple Watch puck is a modified Qi charger. The Made for MFi issue and cables precedes the Apple Watch. If you use Google and do a search you will find people complaining about knock-off cables that no longer worked with their iPhones after and Apple iOS update, this isn't the first time this has occurred.

Unless Baseus used a higher grade chipset then most of the sleazy cheap companies use then no your charger will never work. But you could contact them and see if they have any plans to fix your situation. Or wait until they steal some codes and come out with a new cheap charger. Or buy one from a company that really is MFi certified.

Hi there,

I have the same issue with my Apple Watch 5 running iOS 6.1..

I recently purchased 2 third party chargers and they both do the same as you describe.

My Apple Watch keeps chiming as if I had just placed it onto the charger. Over and over and over again..

It’s very weird..

The manufacturer asked me to remove a small rubber bumper that the watch sits on to see if that helps.. They have found that some units, removing the bumper allows the 42mm/44mm watch to better align with the center of the charging puck

I did it and my problem is solve..

I had a third party combo charger that worked GREAT until the latest watch OS update. Now it will charge for about a minute, and then it goes into a loop of constantly starting/stopping charging. If I were prone to believing conspiracy theories, I would suspect that Apple made a change to purposely break support for third part chargers. But that's just crazy talk. What possible motive would they have for doing THAT?

Since there are chipsets within Apple cables that also contain certain programming and code your "conspiracy" actually can be correct. Sometimes Apple does make changes that affect these to add or update features. For Apple and the 161+ companies that are in the Made for iPhone group it should not be a problem, their products should have no problem accepting the changes. For the 3rd parties that aren't part of this they have an issue, they aren't using the same chipsets and they stole their codes from one of the 161+ so theirs no longer works. To use their cables you need to buy a new cheap one each time they steal another code.
