Apple Watch not charging, flashes charging symbol in some positions then goes dark ?

I have an Apple iWatch that is not charging no matter how long I leave it on the charger (12+ hrs) the long snake charging symbol flashes on for a second then the screen goes dark unless I unplug it and plug it back in or wiggle and adjust it for 10 mins straight. It is a Apple iWatch 7000 series 42mm aluminium casing (1st Gen? I think) I have the serial number if needed which pulls up "Apple Watch 42mm Aluminum (1st gen)" on the Apple website.


I've tried other USB port charging blocks for the wall as well as other outlets. This is a new replacement charger. I've cleaned off the charging magnet and the watch charging area, no plastic is still on the charger or watch, no visible damage, etc. Help???
