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

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..

Looks like my chargers are the cheaper kind because they just do not work. Thanks everyone, really appreciate your feedback.
