Hi,
After updating the Apple Watch 7 to WhatchOS 8.5 it stopped fast charging with Belkin BoostCharge PRO. It used to charge very fast and now is very very very slow (about 5% in one hour). Any idea of how to solve this issue?
Thanks!
Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8
Solving the issue is up to Apple and Belkin. However as a work around until a fix to WatchOS is available try the following;
Place watch on Belkin Charger, wait a few seconds till it switches to charge mode (Green Watch Face)
Remove it from charger , wait a second till it flips to normal watch mode then replace on charger.
I've been doing this for awhile (weeks) and it works consistently to allow fast charging on a Series 7 watch , and Belkin Fast (Watch) Chargers. Belkin has also mentioned this recently on their support Twitter.
I tried this and it didn't change anything. Still took 2 hours to charge my watch from 20% to 100%.
Not for me. My brand new Apple Watch 7 running 8.6 and brand new Belkin BoostCharge PRO took 2 hours to charge from 20% to 100%.
I‘ve been in contact with Belkin support over a couple days. The only workaround suggested was to hard reset the watch. Which didn’t help either.
I was told today that Belkin upper management is currently investigating for the root cause of the problem and support is still waiting for their feedback.
and that replacing the unit will not help at this time since the issue occurred after the iOS update.
Same issue, left the watch on the charger for about 2 hours and got 9%
Apple Watch 7 slow charging with Belkin BoostCharge PRO after 8.5
