watchOS 6 and 3rd Party Chargers Issue

Hello!

Just wanted to check in with others - it seems like watchOS 6 might have broken support for 3rd party wireless chargers. Anybody else noticed that as well?

I had been using this 3-in-1 Baseus model for a while now without issues, but unfortunately my watch (Series 4) barely charged at all overnight after the latest update. I tried different bricks, including the iPad Pro 11 one, to no avail. Upon closer inspection earlier today, I noticed it keeps "restarting" the charge cycle every 10 seconds or so.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Jose H Pina

To be honest I returned the chargers and have stuck with the original Apple charger for now. it sounds like from what I have read that Apple is clamping down on non-certified apple chargers.

Absolutely have this problem. I have two different aftermarket chargers, both have the issue. Here is my post.

Are you sure those are MFi certified? https://mfi.apple.com/MFiWeb/getAPS

That sometimes happens when I have my iPhone charging cable connected to my iMac. After I disconnect it and plug it back in it seems to charge properly.

They don't appear to me Made for iPhone (or Watch) certified so the upgrade may have affected it.

Reading his thread he is using an Apple Charger and he does not have the same issue you do, he is just muddying the water.

Hopefully! Fingers Crossed - It thats the outcome, surely Apple have had the bug or a strategy but being rolled back due to 1000s of complaints or compatibility matters

This is happening to me as well. Only started with Apple Watch 6 release. Anyone know how to fix this?

Unfortunately, it looks like it’s up to Apple - they have to fix it in a future update...

Yeah, I have a similar Baseus charger with yours, just without the AirPod charger one. Same issues with my AW series 5 with watchOS 6.0.1. Original charger works fine. Apple please fix it!
