watchOS 6 breaks third party charging

Same happened with my AW 4 using 6.01 after update. Certified 3rd party wireless charger will not charge my watch.

Same here. Very frustrating.

Which make/model charger?

AMP Air Charger

I have contacted AMP but no reply yet. From the other posts it appears that Apple is aware. Quests, what are they going to do about it?

We’ll see what happens. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No. I use their AW Edition charger.

What about AMP Mobile Dual chargers. They do not work!!

Have you contacted AMP?

Hello, I've a problem too charging my 44mm ceramic apple watch series 5 (v. 6.0.1) with the Nomad Apple Watch Base Station: when the watch is fully charged at 100% it starts to loop continuously. To avoid damages to the battery I must remove the watch from the base loosing the nightstand feature... somebody tried the Mophie 3 in 1? Is it working flawlessly?

The Nomad Customer Care has replied to my Apple Watch issue suggesting to swap the rubber bumper (the one where the watch sits) with a smaller one that they will send me as a replacement. Since the loop problem is present just when the watch is 100% charged I don't think that with a new smaller bumper they will be able to fix the issue! Still thinking to return the Nomad base but the bad reviews for the Mophie 3 in 1 add more confusion...

Hi, I’m starting to think that the problem is NOT generalized.. The manufacturer of my base station (Nomad) never heard of this issue.... Also, there is not a lot of complaintes on the internet about this..

Must not have been a very good news source, there are over 160 MFi certified companies that sell chargers. The only one mentioned here that I've seen that is MFi and not working is the AMP. "Limiting sales to Apple and 160+ companies is not very isolating. For those companies that steal chipset designs and codes to make their chargers work a pox on their house.

Yes. Facing the same problem in I watch 4 after updating to watch OS 6. I am using Apple Watch 2,3, and migrated to 4 two months ago. I Have one genuine Apple charger that came with the box and bought two more MFI certified ones for travel and office. All of them were working fine prior to OS update. Now only Apple genuine charger works post update. . Tried the hack of putting watch in airplane mode , then MFI charger worked. This works only when phone and watch both are on airplane mode. Hope Apple allows MFI charging as we need multiple chargers at home , office , car and travel bag.

Same issue, I posted my case here on Sep 20. Really frustrating, I hope it wasn't an intentional move by Apple...
