Mine is doing the same thing! Makes me so mad! Especially because I cannot close all 3 rings every day for 7 days when this happens at least once or twice a week. Every time my battery runs dead, it takes 1/2 a day from switching between 3 different chargers, one is an ipad charger, and it finally starts charging.

This has been going on since last December and has now included worse where the battery dies in a few hours.

This is worse than the not charging issue which is cheaply and quite conveniently got around by 3 USB C to USB A Adapters bought on Amazon or eBay

These and the Charger lead in the box means you can use in 3 places, except 1, all your previous iPhone USB A Wall chargers

Fraction of the cost of the massive size of the Apple 20w USB C Charger too.

I still have this charging problem and still refuse to get a massive 20w USB C charger.

I decided a month or 2 ago to get 3 USB C female to USB A male adapters from eBay ( or Amazon) for a fraction of the cost of wall charger.

This lets you use ALL the favourite USB A wall chargers you used before in 3 different places.

Unlike being told to use the USB C port maybe in the remote part of the house somewhere it can be plugged in any where at all like we used to. Even the car USB A Port. I drive out in the morning after sleep tracking all night. Fully Charged within 45 mins and back on the wrist until next morning.

Almost as convenient as before.

And maybe Apple might sort out the software soon too.

My posts since Dec last year have always said I refuse to add to the mountains of E-waste and buy this charger when we were told by Apple we never would have to and use our old iPhone etc chargers and leads in October last year.

Not only that at 7.42 just above your question about the actual size of the charger and suggesting I buy a smaller one is the explanation why not.

I do actually use the recycled iPhone 5w USB A charger which is very petite and with the UDB C TO USB A adapter charges from 4% to over 80% in 36 minutes.

This actually is one of the 3 USB A Wall chargers that are shown compatible with everyone’s AW7 and AW SE watches.

Did you have a different alias when you posted back in December?

You aren’t adding to mountains of waste and since new devices will be conforming to the EU USB-C mandate eventually you will need new chargers. As I previously posted I took a coat pocket full of USB-A 5W power adapters to Apple to be recycled as well as one 18W power adapter. So I have not added to E waste.

Eventually your adapters will also be E waste so you are actually doing the same thing by purchasing multiple ones.

I have this exact same issue. Did you ever get a resolution? Thanks.

I have exactly the same issue and my watch is quite new as well.

Just how big do you thing the 20W charger is. If you think it is too big get an Anker Nano Pro 20W charger, it is smaller than the Apple 5W charger.
